We performed a comparison between Oracle GoldenGate and SAP Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It moves the data as you set it up, and it works. I am also very impressed with its stability and scalability. It is not super feature-rich, but the new releases have more functionality. It recently had more native integrations with Oracle Database. If you are using it against an Oracle database, it has a lot more functionality."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions like Oracle Data Guard, especially for Oracle-to-non-Oracle replication scenarios."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"Oracle GoldenGate features work fine, which is what I like about it. I also like that it's scalable, easy to set up, and has good technical support."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"You can put data together from a few databases into one database or the other way, from one database into several. It transforms data in real-time."
"I am impressed with the tool's possibility of integrating different systems in a unified place."
"It works best with Oracle."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"It is a powerful product with a broad range of features."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
"The user interface is ok."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"Data Services' best features are its robustness and plug-and-play integration with other SAP applications."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"What needs improvement in Oracle GoldenGate is the support. Another feature that needs to be improved in the solution is its GUI. It would be useful for programmers or users to be able to work from the GUI, not just from the command line. Simplifying how Oracle GoldenGate is used would also make the solution better."
"In some cases, expectations were not met, especially when specific tables were expected to be disabled, and changes were anticipated in the target environment. We had to take backups from the source and refresh the address to address this."
"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."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved."
"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"The skillset of data engineers matters a bit to use all the functionality of this solution. Otherwise, the delivery speed won't be faster."
"I want some more business intelligence applications. People need to know more and more about data, including the transformation rules, etc. Informatica is a better product for data cataloging. SAP should update the data catalog."
"There should be some kind of enhancement that can be done on the admin side of certain sites where we can assign the roles and responsibilities. We should be able to control who is using the tool and how."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"The pricing of the solution should be improved."
