Facilitates complex data integration with ease and flexibility
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.

Regarding points for improvement for Palantir Foundry, I see that they are improving day by day. In the last one to two years, I have seen many improvements compared to the two years that I have worked on Palantir Foundry. There are many things that come up, but a few things are not intuitive enough. Now that we are in this AI phase, Palantir Foundry has created some wrappers around the models, allowing us to create using a no-code application, chatbots, and LLM functions. The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has. There are ways to do that, but it is not that intuitive, which is what I feel.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ROI is good."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"It uses the power of the database system efficiently."
"We spend much less time developing integrations because all we need to focus on is the business logic."
"We looked at alternatives, but they could not provide us with the complete set of features."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"Oracle provides strong support. I can get solutions quickly, and any tickets I submit to Oracle are responded to and resolved rapidly."
"For the EPM environment, the ODI is the key to transforming a good project into a great project."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"Based on my huge experience with Palantir Foundry, I find that starting from the data connection to the end user application, there is a tool for everyone."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"With ODI there is a lot of manual work to be done with the initial setup."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"Prior to that, the agent was failing. I was having to check it all the time to see if the jobs ran."
"It is still not as stable as the old BI Apps and ELT tools were, but it's getting there."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is already good as a solution. Still, it needs some editing of its preview package, or if the package is upgraded, that will make Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) even better."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing isn't expensive, but it's not cheap, so it's in the middle. I'd rate the pricing as three out of five."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"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."
"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."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
