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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Customer Service: We have a support contract with Jumpmind. The support resources are readily available and provide expert support to any questions."
"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"It is fully featured, has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do, is very easy to use and install, is pretty self-explanatory, and their support was also very good."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"​All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"The ROI is good."
"For us, ODI has been key in collecting, transforming, and storing information from our various sources."
"All ETL code is stored in repositories in underlying database schemas. The number of users can access and work on the same solution using a client tool. So distributed teams can work on this tool in an efficient manner."
"So far, this product has been the best option for our organization, with more features and integration capabilities than other solutions."
"I love working with ODI because it tests your thought limits and creativity and the possibilities are endless when it comes to innovative tasks."
"ODI's most valuable features are it utilizes the database engine and is very lightweight."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"When developing on huge internal repositories, the performance is often quite poor."
"They need to work on the multiuser development environment and include the ability to comply with different kinds of SDLCs."
"Click intensive on mapping Lots of mouse clicking GUI could be improved."
"Prior to that, the agent was failing. I was having to check it all the time to see if the jobs ran."
"One of the main disadvantages of the Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that it sometimes takes a lot of resources when handling multiple jobs."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is real-time integration. Currently, my company has a workaround to implement real-time integration, an area on which Oracle must focus more. Real-time integration should be easier in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). Another area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is integration with more publishers and subscribers rather than just database integrations."
"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"The solution is very expensive."
"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."
"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
"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 solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
"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."
