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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"The possibilities provided by using knowledge modules and the integration with other Oracle products."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."
"The main benefits that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) brings to the table include data quality, data completeness functionality, metadata management, and the reverse engineering feature, which allows integrating the metadata of diversified data sources with a single click."
"​All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"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."
"Oracle provides strong support. I can get solutions quickly, and any tickets I submit to Oracle are responded to and resolved rapidly."
"The tool improved our data integration workflow primarily due to its compatibility with Oracle. Its integration makes it very convenient for analytics. Its most valuable feature is robust extended capability. The solution's debugging capabilities are good."
 

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."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
"Licensing costs for this Oracle solution are expensive. ODI forms an integral part of the overall PaaS solution and becomes a kind of backbone for that particular service, which is painful because from a PaaS perspective, the licensing costs just shoot off the roof."
"Overall performance needs improvement. Especially when running ODI clients on Windows desktops."
"I think that job scheduling can be improved."
"ETL process registry solution is missing."
"There are certain things where it can be improved. Initial solution setup seems a bit complex at the start, it should be improved because it becomes bit tough for a novice to get started on this. Sometimes error description is not helpful to understand the problem it gives some generic type of errors which are at times not that helpful to understand the underlying root cause of the issue."
"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"Prior to that, the agent was failing. I was having to check it all the time to see if the jobs ran."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
"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."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"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."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
