It is stable and we did not have any issues with initial setup. I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version to support the wide range of sources available.
I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME) I have been using it for 6-7 months. There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability…

It would be great if ODI could link the designer, mapping, and workflows in a more simplified manner, maybe in one combined interface. It would be excellent not to have to go into different areas to perform different activities but rather have a user-defined interface where we can configure a job, run it, monitor it, link packages, and link subprocesses all in one frame instead of having the designer separately, mapping separately, and monitoring and session management separately. With respect to data quality challenges, it would be great to give an option to fix data quality issues based on AI. Integrating AI with ODI that provides recommendations on how to fix those data quality issues after analyzing and profiling business data would be excellent. One of the main disadvantages of the Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that it sometimes takes a lot of resources when handling multiple jobs. The scalability and the ability to handle multiple workloads of several parallel ETL jobs could use improvement, and certain parallel threads should be added along with the ability to configure multiple jobs from the same data directory structure.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"There were no concerns with the stability; this product is very good from a stability perspective."
"We have been using it for ETL, it is very robust and easy to use."
"This product is extremely useful and better than building an in-house solution."
"Web based interface."
"For data transfers and ETLs on Windows, this is a great product."
"There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability perspective."
"It increased ETL development efficiency 1/3 in time."
"For us, ODI has been key in collecting, transforming, and storing information from our various sources."
"In our DW/BI solution, ODI is the main tool to integrate the data in a daily batch way."
"If you want a robust, flexible solution with no extra hardware that is easy to learn, then ODI is the right product for you."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"One of the standout features of ODI is its ability to prepare everything on a vertical level and create reusable components, which adds to its value."
"I love working with ODI because it tests your thought limits and creativity and the possibilities are endless when it comes to innovative tasks."
"It effectively manages errors through its logging and exception-handling capabilities."
 

Cons

"At the moment, we can't even use it for 1, since it keeps failing in our QA testing."
"Technical support is an area which can definitely improve."
"The areas which I think need to be improved are the transform and load steps."
"I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME)."
"I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME)."
"It has been very good. Just recently, I've faced an issue, but I solved it somehow. While integrating with a file, I faced an issue where I wanted output files, and I had used the text field limited quotations, but at the end of the file, there was a line breakage for the last column. So, we just removed the text field because it was not working correctly for us."
"The GUI is Java based, and is less than friendly."
"It's quite an expensive solution. We'd like it if they could adjust the pricing according to the region they are operating in."
"I rate it a seven out of 10 because there is room for growth because ODI is still new, in comparison to Informatica, which is a mature product."
"The interface of ODI could be improved. For example, navigating and finding functions can be difficult."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"Oracle takes a long time to respond and to provide a fix for issues. It takes, sometimes, up to eight weeks before Oracle will say that the issue is a bug."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"Being an ODI developer, I never had to pay for this product. I know that the pricing/licensing is not really low, but the product is really good."
"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"Per user, it is $900 USD per year, though they will give some discount. However, even a 60% to 70% of discount for each won't help us much. On top of that, there is the perpetual license you must pay at the outset."
