User Testimonials
	BusinessObjects Data Integrator (discontinued)	SAP Replication Server
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products Great tool for ETL with the ability to integrate with SAP products seamlessly. Supports Big data integration. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SAP I asked questions about a warm standby and multicast replication. We ended up using bi-directional replication and a warm standby db. Having 3 or more live OLTP DB's where each was read-write was going to be difficult to manage for contention if the same table was being updated. We stuck with an easier solution to have only two OLTP's, and then used additional DB's as read-only DW's. Incentivized Bruce Speidel Senior Staff Engineer Read full review
