A well-established product that meets all our specifications in terms of usability
In the initial stage when we went with Data Integrator Cloud Service it was primarily the nativity factor that was key for us. Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications, and the ability to configure activities and direct integration with various other Oracle products, were the main attractive features within ODI. This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications. It meets all our specifications in terms of usability.

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

"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications."
"The solution is very stable and it's great once you get it working correctly."
"The most valuable thing to me is its simplicity. A person with zero knowledge can also develop the integration without having extensive technology knowledgebase. They can also work on creating their own integration."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes the integration a little faster and makes it easier to implement the integration quickly."
"The solution is easy to manage and offers good integration. You can run all the tasks one by one which is really helpful, and pick the day and time to do so."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"It is a clever integration tool to extract data from every possible source, and it can transform the source data to a format the targets can handle."
"Rather than taking your production, or your business, and trying to make it fit a tool, you do the opposite; you make the tool fit your business."
"It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases."
"I think that ODI is one of the most complete and open solutions, since it can work with almost any technology and it gives you the ability to develop the same solution in a wide variety of ways depending on the one you prefer."
"If you want a robust, flexible solution with no extra hardware that is easy to learn, then ODI is the right product for you."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"It uses the power of the database system efficiently."
 

Cons

"It can be made much easier for users. They should be allowed to easily monitor the data extraction and flow, allowing them to observe real-time data flow within the software, making the process straightforward."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"I would like to see different cloud adapters or connectors in case of integration. When you have Oracle to Oracle, they are good. They have really good connectors, but if it is a different ERP, like Obsidian, that is where they are faced with problems in OIC."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"The solution is expensive."
"Customer service 5/10 - Technical support needs to be improved."
"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)."
"They need to work on the multiuser development environment and include the ability to comply with different kinds of SDLCs."
"I am personally satisfied with current version, however, I think they should be able to provide a feature where we can easily use a configuration tool for TFS, GIT etc."
"As with any big tool, truly mastering ODI may take months."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"The main problem with ODI is that you have to create each step of the transformation as a new interface. A big data flow can have more than 100 interfaces, which can make it difficult to trace the data."
"Customer Service: It could be better. Technical Support: It could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
"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."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"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."
