Slightly off topic, but we use DBVisit Standby (data guard alternative for Oracle SE). I’m very happy with the product and the support we’ve gotten from them.

I've tested out shareplex and didn't care for it too much. Similar setup as GG but it there was also some issues with multiple encryption wallet files for multiple instances on the same server. Also every time there was an issue it seemed support always made us uninstall and reinstall. Unfortunately DbVisit still doesn't or didn't support as of 6 months ago database encryption replication. It was too bad cause I've meet the DbVisit guys and they are really awesome honest people. So we had to go with GG. It is still new to us and working out some issues. I would talk to and test out both.

Oracle do license Goldengate for temporary use, 1 year at a time minimum though. You could always cut a deal with Oracle...

DB Visit (and Shareplex and others) are very good. They are not as fast nor as sophisticated or flexible as integrated Goldengate, but they are much much cheaper. If they fit your requirements, go for it!
