We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For our simple requirement of migration, DMS is just a typical AWS RDS with an IPSec tunnel to Oracle. The most valuable features for us are the networking capabilities like VPCs and VPNs."
"The process is now simplified because there won't be maintenance. Usually we can take a snapshot of the number I need. We can automate the backup snapshots and we can restore it very quickly. We get many benefits from the application."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Database Migration Service is it catches all the history changes, such as inset, observe, and delete. It tracks everything."
"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"What I like most about Oracle GoldenGate is that it supports cross-platform migrations. For example, Oracle GoldenGate could pump data from one type of system to another such as the data from Oracle DB to SQL Db2."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."
"It works best with Oracle."
"Data migration is the most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate."
"I am impressed with the tool's possibility of integrating different systems in a unified place."
"It is quite scalable."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"More endpoints need to be supported by AWS Database Migration Service. There's also a need for more control and transparency on the product, including better technical support."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"The names of the services need improvement since AWS doesn't indicate what the function of the product is presently. You need to read a lot to find the service that you want in the product."
"Migrating from here and pushing the data from on-premise to AWS cloud is a big challenge and a few more services from AWS would be helpful. For example, we are currently using ILDB internet tools which move data from on-premise to the AWS cloud. A few more services would be really helpful for me to move the master data."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"Oracle GoldenGate could improve the price."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"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."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"There are a lot of bugs in the solution."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
