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

"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"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."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"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."
"This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"It has streamlined and automated data loads, and exports from our ERP system to our finance data warehouse and to Hyperion Essbase."
"Oracle Data Integrator (ODI)'s ELT architecture has helped optimize my data movement and transformation significantly."
"​The installation of the client ODI Studio is easy.​"
"Because the code to support those columns is shared across the whole solution, we are now capable of getting the auditing information for every single piece of data in the entire solution, without having to code it individually for each stream."
"The most valuable features of ODI are the relatively comprehensive ELT features (i.e. execution of data transformation and validation processes), with scheduling."
"ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"Besides loading data, we do most of our transformations in ODI."
"Before adopting this solution we used to work hard, and we now feel better because our manual work is completely over."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"The initial setup is rather complex, and needs an experienced architect to make the correct decisions."
"They need to work on the multiuser development environment and include the ability to comply with different kinds of SDLCs."
"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)."
"It used to crash with large datasets."
"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 interface of ODI could be improved. For example, navigating and finding functions can be difficult. For example, you have to know which step you need to go to look at where your job status is. The logical step is a bit complex compared to other tools. It's much easier to get a graphical view, but with ODI, it's graphical, plus you have to know all the other pieces that fit around it. You have to think about the logical and physical aspects."
"I would like to see in the next version/release the ability to scale a package workflow or data flow process during the execution at run time."
"It needs more robust functioning and ease-of-use for development using reusable jobs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"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."
"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"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."
"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
