    I think it's a great product. We apply Oracle GoldenGate to several use cases in our organization. 1. Business Continuity Planning, 2. Query Offloading through data replication to a reporting instance of our data, 3. looking into data transformations to help support various queries for different teams within the business.

    SAP Datasphere is well suited for scalable cloud based data integration scenarios which also opens up the doors for AI driven insights which are much harder to achieve with on-prem data warehouses. Considering the licensing model of SAP Datasphere being based on consumption driven capacity units cost can be a big consideration for organizations with large volumes of data that can be a pre-requisite for data mining and AI use cases. So this can be a bottleneck or not so well adopted scenario for SAP Datasphere.

    Pros
    Oracle
    • As the product under the Oracle umbrella, it perfectly and natively supports the Oracle database very well.
    • For the standard scenario and use cases, the configuration is straight-forward (in our case uni-direction copy from source to target).
    • It is robust and the performance meets our SLA, even for a large amount of data volume.
    • The error report is not only detailed but hits the right points, so trouble shooting is easy.

    • SAP Data Warehouse Cloud offers free trial for 90 days with free 128 GB of storage and 64 GB memory.
    • Availability of self-service data modeling and analytics on SAP Data Warehouse Cloud enables users to access and analyze data without getting support from the IT team.
    • Without zero coding while collecting, connecting, analyzing and modeling data, it saves us time and operational costs of partnering with external IT support experts.

    Cons
    Oracle
    • The earlier versions of Golden Gate were complex to use as there was no front end. All that works was the command line.
    • The cost of the product can be a detriment to most companies.
    • The product has been augmented over the years and has so many features that it can be overwhelming.

    • Need to have a good understanding of the SAP ecosystem to implement and use it.
    • From a cost perspective it can be little bit on the expensive side for enterprises.
    • The platform is still new and hence more subjected to bugs. But support for it is always good from the SAP team.

    Datasphere can come with its own challenges which can feel like a mountain to get over. However, once one has an understanding of how the product works it becomes easier to use. Once the time is spent to get it setup and working correctly very little is needed to keep it running smoothly. Its a great tool it just takes time to learn.

    Usability
    Oracle
    Once set up, it's very easy to use and keep running, it's getting to that point that can make it cumbersome to some. Also, depending on the data that you want to replicate, the configuration files can become quite cumbersome to maintain. Learning curve can be high for some who are not as experienced with databases and transactions.

    SAP has suggested that BW 7.5 will be sunset soon. Usability is good in SAP BW Modernization. Instead of going with other non-SAP tools, staying with SAP will be suitable for existing users. Across the board, many of them are moving to DataSphere.

    Oracle Support for Oracle GoldenGate has been quite responsive and quite helpful in the few situations where we've needed it. Furthermore, the documentation on Oracle GoldenGate is so good that we often do not need to contact support with issues as the fix is already documented and able to be run by us without needing to open a ticket.

    I would greatly acknowledge the services of Sap Data [warehouse Cloud] because we were struggling before its arrival where we used to get manual data connections and this used to consume a lot of time but after its use, we now are able to connect data easily saving a lot of time and finances.

    We've had Oracle consultants come as well for training days to talk about new features, parts of Oracle GoldenGate we may not be using and things of that nature. The consultants they send are great as they're very knowledgeable about all things Oracle GoldenGate and great resources for any questions or concerns you may have with the product.

    We used Oracle University for our Oracle Golden Gate Training and it was top notch. We were able to turn our whole DBA team to Oracle GoldenGate newbies to Oracle GoldenGate troubleshooting experts in a matter of a few days, while this obviously did not come cheap, the company felt that it was worth the investment.

    If Oracle GoldenGate is new to your organization, expose as many DBAs as possible to it. Having your whole team fluent in it will overcome early operational hurdles and allow it to more quickly become an accepted and supported part of your supported platform for your team that will enable the business to use it to its fullest.

    We use Oracle Data Guard as a backup tool, but not for data replication. Data Guard is not suited for real-time data replication in our non-normalized reporting database nor for the database we are using for our upgrade project, as Data Guard is not able to transform data and is not able to synchronize data into different schemas, which is necessary for our project. Additionally, our project database is on Oracle 12g not 11i: I am not 100% sure Data Guard is able to replicate from 11i to 12g

    Each of these listed software has its own unique strength and capacity that scales well. SAP Datasphere on its end up against them with more suitability for large establishments with complex data ecosystems with scalability support. Also, it avails a pay-as-you-go pricing for users, and it is widely up for data quality, data governance, and data discovery.

    Have never had any issues with scaling Oracle GoldenGate itself, however Oracle GoldenGate Monitor does have scaling issues, but with Oracle GoldenGate now able to be monitored by Oracle Enterprise Manager, this is no longer an issue, in my opinion.

    Return on Investment
    Oracle
    • In earlier versions, DDL support was limited as well as the need of primary key constraints in the source tables. This made me create partitions, sub-partitions, truncatations and perform other operations upon they are performed in source systems and I need to discuss with source system administrators and need to convince them to let them create primary keys for replicated tables.
    • But both issues are solved now.
    • Installation is straightforward, easy.
    • Deployed everything within Oracle Data Integrator.
    • Developing 1000 of ODI interfaces for loading into Operational Data Store took not more than 100 man/days. But, adding them to Golden Gate is taking not more than 5 man/days.
    • Management Pack and VeriData are additional packs for your management and data verification needs.

    • Preserving data quality has enhanced governance on data by having a single source that is accessible to every business user via self-service capabilities.
    • Operational cost is lowered by connecting data in one integrated solution hence making it easy to access information without having to keeping logging to other applications. Additionally, no external IT support is needed since SAP Data Warehouse Cloud has no-coding modeling tools.
    • SAP Data Warehouse Cloud has enabled every business user to understand different data by transforming data to real insights.
