Senior Director at LTI - Larsen & Toubro Infotech
The reliability of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is strong.
Technical Consultant at Argano
The solution is stable.
Senior Software Engineer at A.P. Moller - Maersk
Performance issues arise due to reliance on a flowchart-based mechanism instead of scripts, which can lead to longer execution times.
Data architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I find that version 3.1 is the most stable version I have ever used.
Founder-CEO at Ubuntu Analytica
It's pretty stable, however, it struggles when dealing with smaller amounts of data.

Room For Improvement

Clients seek enhanced error analysis, integration, and user experience in Oracle Integration Cloud Service, addressing cost and functionality issues.
Pentaho needs improved logging, debugging, user interface, performance, environment management, cloud support, documentation, and user feedback integration.
Setup and deployment can be done in OCI, the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, allowing for role-based access and configuration, managing access levels for Oracle Integration Cloud Service environments such as Dev, Test, and Production.
Technical Consultant at Argano
The mapping is a bit complex, so configuration is not very easy for a new user.
Senior Software Engineer at A.P. Moller - Maersk
Most large customers use multiple clouds, and Oracle's partnership with Azure and other hyperscalers needs additional development on the Integration Cloud Service side.
Senior Director at LTI - Larsen & Toubro Infotech
We should also explore more effective partitioning for parallel processing and fine-tuning database connections to reduce load times and improve ETL speed.
Data Integration Developer at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics can be improved by working with different environments, specifically the possibility to change the variables, meaning I write my variables only once and can change them for different environments such as production or development.
Founder-CEO at Ubuntu Analytica
I also lack the option to use programming languages beyond Python and SQL, and a provision to incorporate Scala code in the scripting component would be beneficial.
Data architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Setup Cost

Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers flexible, competitive pricing models with predictable costs, discounts for partners, and robust integration options.
Pentaho Data Integration provides free and paid versions, with users valuing cost-effectiveness despite rising Enterprise Edition prices.
If integration points exceed 30, I recommend that customers use Oracle Integration Cloud Service as it becomes cost-effective with its pay-as-you-use model and multiple available packages.
Senior Director at LTI - Larsen & Toubro Infotech
Oracle Integration Cloud Service's pricing is affordable and reasonable considering its facilities.
Technical Consultant at Argano
I use the community version of Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics, and I do not need additional costs.

Featured Reviews

Sathish Pamisetty - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Consultant at Argano
Security and integration features are appreciated but some bugs need addressing
The main feature of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is its budget-friendly pricing compared to other middleware tools such as MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, or Workato. Additionally, Oracle Integration Cloud Service provides tools such as PCS and Apex for building user interfaces, allowing users to create UIs with drag-and-drop features. Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers capabilities for data customization and validation, handling different date formats, and API calls using REST and SOAP. With approximately 60 to 70 adapters, it allows integration with systems such as SAP, Salesforce, and ERP. Oracle Integration Cloud Service also comes with pre-built adapters, offering easy setup and security features such as OAuth for connecting with systems such as Salesforce.

Streamlines complex data workflows and has supported automated customer payment notifications
I haven't used Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics in a couple of years, so I don't know how it can be improved. I was pretty pleased with it and was self-taught on it, working a lot with their team at various times, but they were surprised that I was able to learn it all by myself. The documentation is not bad, and documentation is the main thing that any product can do to make themselves better because the easier it is to find examples of what you're trying to do improves the learning curve. I think it took me the longest to learn how to do the asynchronous processing and have things wait for other things to finish processing before continuing on in the workflow. I choose 8 out of 10 because the one reason that it's been rejected at T-Mobile is that everything has to go through a provisioning process and has to get approved, meaning the actual code base has to be investigated by T-Mobile before they'll allow us to use tools of that nature. For whatever reason, we just haven't been able to get that approval; I don't know if it's on Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics' side or if it's on our side. The more you can make it easier for companies to feel comfortable that your product is secure, robustly tested and bug-free, and free of any other kind of negative hacks, the more quickly it will get accepted.
