Real-time data streaming has simplified transformations and kept enterprise databases synchronized
Oracle GoldenGate is good, but I would like to improve it. There is a need for whoever installs and configures Oracle GoldenGate to set the correct parameters for the use cases we need to use. In some cases, we had performance problems related to the streaming because there was a lot of information to stream concurrently. However, you can tune Oracle GoldenGate to use more RAM on the source side or more processes. I think that sometimes what is missing is knowledge about the tool from the person responsible for configuration. At this moment, Oracle GoldenGate is a very good tool, and I do not know in which area we can improve it. Perhaps the debug part of the tool could be improved. In some cases, I use the utility for how Oracle GoldenGate generates messages about the statements that it streams because of bugs, and in some cases, it is not very user-friendly. It may be possible to improve the API or the path related to debugging, but not the tool itself. The tool itself is good. I remember that in some configurations, we had problems with the streaming of DDL, which are changes to Oracle object structures such as tables and procedures. A new feature could be to perform streaming for operational objects such as procedures, functions, packages, or grants. This would synchronize source and target for these aspects, not only for data or the main types of structures, but also for others. I remember that there was some configuration in which you performed the streaming of the entire schema, or if you performed streaming for only tables, then you were unable to stream grants and other Oracle objects. I think it is important to introduce that capability.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Oracle GoldenGate is a stable, powerful and robust solution for your data replication needs."
"We are using it for getting data back."
"It is quite scalable."
"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
"It scales well. You can either have it working in with the databases, or you can move it outside. It's got the ability to parallelize up, so you can certainly extract and replay the data from your databases in parallel. So it does have horizontal scalability. That is probably one of its stronger features, the ability just to automatically parallelize the replay and playing of data to allow to scale to large volumes."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"With Oracle GoldenGate, you can easily sync the tables and put them into the ODS database."
"GoldenGate offers an excellent ROI if you use the product cleverly."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."
"The stability is excellent."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
 

Cons

"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"In some cases, we had performance problems related to the streaming because there was a lot of information to stream concurrently."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"Troubleshooting issues is not always the easiest. It should be easier to troubleshoot. Their support can also be improved. They don't read your problem statement and waste a lot of time. GoldenGate for big data is actually a separate license. It is sort of a separate product, but it might fall underneath your GoldenGate category. If we're talking about big data, its interaction with big data sources is poorly documented."
"There is room for improvement in Oracle GoldenGate's pricing, which is a bit high."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."
"Most of the issues we run into with the WSO2 Enterprise Integrator deal with customizations."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"We had some challenges with the installation of this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is highly-priced."
"The solution would be costly for a small organization."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"Licensing for Oracle GoldenGate is paid yearly."
"We have an enterprise license for it. It might be for three years or so. I'm not aware of any additional costs to the standard licensing fee."
"The price of this solution is good."
"Oracle GoldenGate is a high-priced solution because it follows the core-based pricing model versus the software-based pricing model of other solutions."
"The price of Oracle GoldenGate should be lowered. It is expensive compared to other solutions."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
