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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of ODI are the knowledge modules, such as the Loading Knowledge module and the Check Knowledge module, they are helpful. We can check for the constraints in ODI. That helps in figuring out what are the constraints that are the primary keys created in the tables. We can check them with the Check Knowledge module."
"Our developers created best performing ETLs with very little effort leveraging this feature."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"The possibilities provided by using knowledge modules and the integration with other Oracle products."
"I found nothing overly amazing about this tool, although I appreciate its ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"The speed in which we create/generate our ETL mappings has increased by at least a factor of four as compared to Oracle Warehouse Builder."
"The ROI is good."
"Rather than taking your production, or your business, and trying to make it fit a tool, you do the opposite; you make the tool fit your business."
"Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which allows the integration of the European Artificial Intelligence Act into our processes."
"Using Precisely improves data quality, which can lead to a 30% increase in revenue and boost net income by 20% to 25% if implemented correctly."
 

Cons

"I think that job scheduling can be improved."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
"I think Oracle should add more functions to improve optimization."
"When developing on huge internal repositories, the performance is often quite poor."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"A bit unstable and buggy in the 12.1.2 release, but most of it is fixed in 12.1.3, so I would definitely recommend to jump to that version."
"One of the main disadvantages of the Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that it sometimes takes a lot of resources when handling multiple jobs."
"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"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."
"The solution is very expensive."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"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."
"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."
"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
