Ora2pg is free, why should I consider using ORMIT™-Cortex instead?

ORMIT™-Cortex can lower time and effort by 91% in a real world migration such as ATOS migration from Oracle DB to PostgreSQL. ORMIT™-Cortex is without a shadow of a doubt a superior solution compared to Ora2Pg for migrating Oracle databases to PostgreSQL for several key reasons:

  • Recognition of objects

    In ATOS migration use case, ORMIT™-Cortex recognized 100% of the objects in the Oracle database, while Ora2Pg failed to recognize over 50% of the objects, particularly those related to business logic (DML).

  • Accuracy in time estimation

    In any real-world migration, ORMIT™-Cortex provides a more accurate and significantly lower time estimate for the migration process.

  • Migration effectiveness

    In ATOS migration use case, ORMIT™-Cortex was able to migrate nearly 100% of the Oracle data objects (DDL) and about 71% of the Oracle code objects (DML) to native PostgreSQL. Ora2Pg left out most of the business logic.

  • Ease of use

    In ATOS migration use case, ORMIT™-Cortex is more user-friendly and efficient compared to Ora2Pg, which is complex to use.

  • Support and reporting

    In ATOS migration use case, ORMIT™-Cortex provides detailed reports and supports a DevOps way of working, while Ora2Pg offers limited reporting and support.

  • Total cost of ownership (TCO)

    Despite being a paid solution, the test database was estimated at 30,000 CAD$ with ORMIT™-Cortex, compared to 340,000 CAD$ with Ora2Pg, primarily due to the drastically reduced manual work required.

  • Time savings

    In ATOS migration use case, the comparison showed that using ORMIT™-Cortex would save about 2,500 hours of development capacity compared to Ora2Pg.

Migration effort estimates are based on a real world migration. For more details on ATOS migration white paper see here
