Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use GoldenGate to sync up data from our customer and care system to Oracle Analytics Database

Pros and Cons

When it works, it works great

Whenever we have to do a data subset from prod to lower environments its almost impossible for GG to find its checkpoint... we had lots of difficulty with restarting GG process after the refresh.

Return on Investment

because our stack is mostly Oracle we didn't really explore other products outside of the Oracle umbrella

Key Insights

Do you think Oracle GoldenGate delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Oracle GoldenGate's feature set?

Did Oracle GoldenGate live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Oracle GoldenGate go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Oracle GoldenGate again?

The product works well in normal circumstances but fails to deliver when some flexablity is required. For example when syncing source to target it works really well, but when you reverse the process the system can be a bit buggy.

GG is great for what it is, but be aware of its limitations
