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.

Foolproof stability and robust system

SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience. One of its notable features is real-time replication, which ensures that data changes are replicated immediately. This is particularly advantageous when we need to execute full processes promptly.

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 ease of development, you can have a template, and you can onboard transfer very quickly. There's a lot of knowledge modules available that we can use. If you want to connect, for example, a Sibyl, SQL, Oracle, or different products, we don't have to develop them from scratch. They are available, but if it's not, we can go into the marketplace and see if there's a connector there. Having the connector available reduces the amount of hard work needed. We only have to put the inputs and outputs. In some of the products, we use there is already integration available for ODI, which is helpful."

"Before adopting this solution we used to work hard, and we now feel better because our manual work is completely over."

"It effectively manages errors through its logging and exception-handling capabilities."

"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."

"ODI has made it possible for our organization to rapidly build robust integrations that process large data."

"Oracle provides great documentation."

"Far more efficient and robust than OWB, (it was the natural evolution for us)."

"Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition has advanced capabilities like loading slowly changing dimensions, complex data integration process flow logic, re-usable mappings and design-time automation through scripting."

More Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pros

"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."

"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."

"We use this solution for all kinds of communications like RFC, BAPI, IDoc, connecting with the orders, accounts, finance, data stuff, banking, everything."

"This product has a catalog with the location of all the objects which were replicated, and it's very simple to maintain."

"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."

"The most valuable thing about this product is that it replicates data between SAP databases (ASE to IQ) very successfully."

"Currently, there is a Hadoop-based infrastructure with several engineers to maintain the data, and now, using SAP Replication Server, it has become automatic and requires fewer people to put data in the data warehouse."

"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."

More SAP Replication Server pros

Cons

"The interface of ODI could be improved. For example, navigating and finding functions can be difficult. For example, you have to know which step you need to go to look at where your job status is. The logical step is a bit complex compared to other tools. It's much easier to get a graphical view, but with ODI, it's graphical, plus you have to know all the other pieces that fit around it. You have to think about the logical and physical aspects."

"The Oracle Data Integrator interface is extremely slow, especially when using remote desktop connections."

"It is still not as stable as the old BI Apps and ELT tools were, but it's getting there."

"Prior to that, the agent was failing. I was having to check it all the time to see if the jobs ran."

"In our company, we haven't tried consuming services from IoT in our company yet, and I would like to know if the solution will support IoT services in the next release."

"I am personally satisfied with current version, however, I think they should be able to provide a feature where we can easily use a configuration tool for TFS, GIT etc."

"I would like to see in the next version/release the ability to scale a package workflow or data flow process during the execution at run time."

"ODI could improve by being more user-friendly. Informatica, which is also an ETL tool, similar to ODI, but Informatica is very user-friendly, easy to use, and simple to integrate, compared to ODI. ODI has many features, put them all together, and sometimes we get confused about which ones to use, which ones not to use."

More Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) cons

"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."

"It's a very expensive solution."

"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."

"It's complex. It's necessary to understand a little about infrastructure, like network LAN and VLAN environment."

"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."

"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."

"Setup was a little complex."

"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."

More SAP Replication Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very expensive."

"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."

"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."

"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."

"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."

"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."

"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."

More Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing and cost advice

"It's a very expensive solution."

"You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
