Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The product is robust."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business."
"The best feature is that many companies use the solution so there is a lot of peer support."
"The solution offers good integration capabilities."
"Everything from the order to fulfillment to the payment process, except for physical packing and shipping, is fully automated for some customer orders."
"Very flexible product; it allows implementing different flows on the same infrastructure."
"The technical support on offer through the portal is very helpful and responsive."
"The solution is useful for transferring files from one format to another format. Also, the solution is useful in translation."
"IBM B2B Integrator is a great tool, robust, reliable, low-maintenance, and ideal solution."
"The most valuable feature of IBM B2B Integrator is its security and flexibility."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"The installation of the client ODI Studio is easy."
"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"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."
"It's scalable."
"ODI's most valuable features are it utilizes the database engine and is very lightweight."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."
"The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises."
"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished."
"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."
"The user interface is outdated. B2B Integrator was developed in the United States in the nineties, and the graphical user interface hasn't improved since. It's tough because you have to program the software in XML. Nowadays, other methods are easier to work with."
"The tool requires you to write a lot of code in Java and XSLT, which makes development tough."
"There is no related transaction stored in the database because it's an OLTP application."
"The mapping, visibility, deployment, and the dashboard could be improved and updated. The communication logs are very poor. They are not easily understood, and we need to navigate to many places for many reasons. You can't just pull the information; it's very tough."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The one thing that is lacking is easy visibility. It's hard to provide business users with a view into the statuses of their transactions."
"API integration could be improved. The legacy system could be on the cloud."
"Map translator needs more enhancements."
"ODI could improve by focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"It has been very good. Just recently, I've faced an issue, but I solved it somehow. While integrating with a file, I faced an issue where I wanted output files, and I had used the text field limited quotations, but at the end of the file, there was a line breakage for the last column. So, we just removed the text field because it was not working correctly for us."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"The tool should improve its pricing. It prevents the application of Oracle ODI on small and medium projects in countries like Croatia, Germany, or the US. While there are no technological obstacles to using it, the high price makes it unfeasible for projects with smaller budgets."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"I rate it a seven out of 10 because there is room for growth because ODI is still new, in comparison to Informatica, which is a mature product."
