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.

A cloud solution that has a lot of connectors, but it should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples
Smaller customers who want to integrate with other systems don't need too much in-house expertise in terms of technology. They can hire consultants who can implement this solution for them, and they don't have to maintain any infrastructure. For a smaller setup, it is a go-to integration system wherein they don't need a lot of expertise or infrastructure. The solution's UI is pretty intuitive and easy. It is good for smaller integration use cases. I think it would be a problem for bigger use cases. Overall, I rate TIBCO Scribe a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature of this solution is the documentation, as everything is set out clearly with step-by-step instructions."
"It's completely user-friendly."
"Oracle provides great documentation."
"The ROI is good."
"The main benefits that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) brings to the table include data quality, data completeness functionality, metadata management, and the reverse engineering feature, which allows integrating the metadata of diversified data sources with a single click."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"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 tool is declarative, and it only runs on the target staging databases, so I have full control over it and I can change the SQL that the tool generates."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is real-time integration."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"I encountered many problems with the ODI web agent (service that actually executes all the integration tasks) in the 11g version, which was not stable."
"ODI could improve by focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"Customer Service: It could be better. Technical Support: It could be better."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"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."
"There could be better compatibility with other ETL tools and cloud platforms."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"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."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
