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 integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes integration faster."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"The solution is very stable and it's great once you get it working correctly."
"This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle 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."
"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."
"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."
"We spend much less time developing integrations because all we need to focus on is the business logic."
"Most of the functions are very straightforward, like the data model, mapping, package, and load plan. Thus, a new user could get started very fast."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"We looked at alternatives, but they could not provide us with the complete set of features."
"For the EPM environment, the ODI is the key to transforming a good project into a great project."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"The ROI is good."
"It allows a single skill set to handle virtually all of the data transport and transformation needs of a company."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 pricing could be more competitive."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
"The solution is expensive."
"I encountered many problems with the ODI web agent (service that actually executes all the integration tasks) in the 11g version, which was not stable."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"Overall performance needs improvement. Especially when running ODI clients on Windows desktops."
"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."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"Click intensive on mapping Lots of mouse clicking GUI could be improved."
"There needs to better support of external version control software, currently only SVN is present, but I hear GIT is planned in a future patch."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"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."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"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 very expensive."
"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."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
