Sean Scott Oracle Database Administrator Chose SharePlex SharePlex was a clear winner in comparison to its competitors. It beats GoldenGate on price, providing equivalent features and performance at a fraction of the price and without the need to license costly Oracle features at the database level. DB Visit was a strong contender … Incentivized Helpful? Joel Barrow DBA Chose SharePlex At the time we did our proof of concept (2011), Shareplex was up and running within a couple of hours. The Goldengate techs were unable to get their product to work. Pricing for Shareplex was half of what Oracle quoted. Goldengate did not include monitoring or compare/repair … Incentivized Helpful? Robert Xu Director, Database Administration Chose SharePlex SharePlex is more robust than GoldenGate when it comes to replicating the particular transactions in our environment.

Likelihood to Recommend	Quest SharePlex really shines when set alongside GoldenGate. The licensing costs of the two products would appear to place them in entirely different ballparks yet they perform nearly identically in practice. SharePlex is suitable for heterogenous replication of one database to another. The list of targets is ever increasing, with support for all major RDBMS vendors as well as support for popular NoSQL and JSON replication. SharePlex is effective when replicating from on-premise to cloud. Whether that's migrating data, creating a high-availability presence in a public or private cloud, or populating a data mart, it does the job quite well.

Pros	Quest SharePlex is highly configurable and versatile. It can handle virtually any kind of data replication needs. SharePlex is very robust. Its message queuing mechanism provides fast data transfer from the source to the target. SharePlex software is very stable and mature, and it is highly scalable and reliable. SharePlex support is exceptionally good. We are very satisfied with its support engineers. Incentivized Robert Xu Director, Database Administration Read full review
Cons	Quest When first introduced the Change Data Capture process was awkward. Each subsequent release has improved the process. Sometimes the Shareplex monitoring service in Foglight gets overly aggressive in sending out error notifications and can end up spamming the admins with email alerts for one problem. We have had to tone that down. Incentivized Joel Barrow DBA Read full review

Support Rating	Quest Support is very responsive. They take ownership of the problems and see them through to the finish. When a bug is found they work towards developing testing and making the fix available to us to solve the problem. Incentivized Joel Barrow DBA Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Quest SharePlex support is an award-winning team, which is available for 24 hours, and any time they have solutions with perfect expertise.
