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.
Chris Farris - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Data Operations at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
User-friendly interface facilitates efficient data migration and reduces operational overhead
Its usability and ease of use are standout features. It is really easy to use - almost too easy at times. Users don't have to be experts to use their tool set and utilize the clicking mechanisms, drop down boxes, and other features to build a package and run it. The configuration is very easy and the system is very stable. I would rate it at a 10 as it is highly reliable; we have never had any problems with it. Very little maintenance is required on my side. While you need to keep the product up to date, the maintenance requirements are minimal. SSIS integrates with all Microsoft tools seamlessly. We have used it against Oracle, DB2 and SQL. It integrates and can move data around from any data platforms, making it very diverse in that standpoint. It is a very robust tool that can work with many data sources, and its main strength is that it is extremely easy to use.
