Hi gurus,
Had a discussion with Oracle folks and he said that Oracle Golden Gate is a DR solution, where as I don't agree.
And here is what Oracle itself is saying:
Oracle GoldenGate is Oracle’s full-featured replication solution designed to address a wide range of requirements. GoldenGate maintains a synchronized logical copy of a production database that is open read-write at all times. A GoldenGate replica, for example, can offload reporting applications that require read-write database access or can be used to load-balance read-write workloads using multimaster replication. Increased flexibility, however, is accompanied by several trade-offs for data protection and operational simplicity compared to Active Data Guard. GoldenGate is used for disaster recovery by customers who accept these trade-offs in return for its additional flexibility.

Bringing it here, so can see, what others have to say, obviously along with justification.
Looking forward to hearing back.
Best regards
