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.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ODI is very friendly to those who have been traditionally writing a scale PL/SQL."
"In our DW/BI solution, ODI is the main tool to integrate the data in a daily batch way."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"Integration with all systems is easy with Oracle Data Integrator, and it is easy to use. I have not used any other product, but with Oracle Data Integrator, we can easily connect to an ERP system, an SAP system, or a cloud application."
"ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"The initial setup is easy."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that it integrates well with almost all technologies currently being used in my company."
"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"It's quite an expensive solution. We'd like it if they could adjust the pricing according to the region they are operating in."
"Perhaps more learning resources related to ODI would be helpful."
"The technical support for EPM is bad."
"First, it needs better error handling (i.e. messages, debugging). Second, it also needs the ability to perform more complex interfaces (i.e. multiple sources to targets)."
"Technical service is a 6, and Oracle needs to improve this."
"Although we're satisfied with its overall performance in terms of integrity, scalability, and usability, it could be improved by including a separate UI for viewing the session runs through the operator layer of ODI."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
