Hafiz Mannan - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of Data Services – Services Partner at 3 As Technologies
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.
Salini Ravindranath - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution Architect at Spire Solutions
Data governance has improved and complex integrations are handled with flexible customization
Regarding Talend Data Fabric, the ease of use and the customization options that are available are particularly valuable. There are a lot of built-in components and features that we can modify in any way we want to transform the data and make it analytics ready. Talend Data Catalog is another product that, when combined with Talend Data Fabric, can be used for the data governance. The stewardship, ownership, and curation happen mainly from the Data Catalog side. Within Talend Data Fabric, the role-based access control is used for user segregations such as security, infrastructure-related or integration-related activities. It bifurcates the roles and responsibilities. From the data standpoint, the RBAC functions with the help of Data Catalog.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"The ODI client can be configured so that Excel data can automatically be pumped into Oracle Forms directly."
"We realized we were behind and purchased a whole stack of Oracle products that have simplified the way we move and track data."
"Oracle technical support for this product is excellent."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"It's scalable."
"Go ahead it is a very good, stable and reliable product."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward, especially compared to Mule, which our team has worked with before and found to be a bit more complex in terms of setup."
"There are a lot of built-in components and features that we can modify in any way we want to transform the data and make it analytics ready."
"Everything in Talend Data Fabric is GUI-based, making it very user-friendly and easy to learn quickly."
"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."
"Talend can be used for multi-cloud purposes, allowing users to orchestrate data across various cloud platforms without purchasing AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, or similar cloud-specific tools."
"The Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."
"Talend has very good support for big data."
"We've had no issues with the stability so far."
"What I find most valuable about this solution is the 900 connectors because it allows me to integrate any tool and any cloud system I need to integrate and they have a connector out of the box."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is real-time integration. Currently, my company has a workaround to implement real-time integration, an area on which Oracle must focus more. Real-time integration should be easier in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). Another area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is integration with more publishers and subscribers rather than just database integrations."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
"They need to work on the multiuser development environment and include the ability to comply with different kinds of SDLCs."
"Prior to that, the agent was failing. I was having to check it all the time to see if the jobs ran."
"At this point in time, we are not satisfied with the stability."
"It needs easier security."
"Oracle support services are not up to the mark."
"There needs to better support of external version control software, currently only SVN is present, but I hear GIT is planned in a future patch."
"Talend's architecture is complex to configure, especially due to the various components involved. It requires a more intricate setup."
"The downside, however, is indeed the pricing, which has been the biggest challenge; since it went to Click, there is no longer a free license version such as Talend Open Studio, so either you pay or you do not have anything."
"I would like to see better integration with other tools because every tool waiting for approval in terms of leveraging machine learning takes a long time."
"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet."
"We are currently using version 7.3.1, but preferred the version before. The problem that we currently have is that Talend are releasing patches for Talend Studio every quarter. Our technical team has to be on top of these patches and constantly ensure everything is updated."
"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."
"Support is something that drives me crazy these days."
"The support is not very good. The team is not well-trained, and resolving a ticket can require several discussions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
"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."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"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 very expensive."
"There are no additional licensing fees when you scale"
"There are multiple subscriptions available with Talend, each with its own scope. Subscriptions depend on the number of users you have and how many remote engines you want to install."
