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

"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 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."
"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes integration faster."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"I found nothing overly amazing about this tool, although I appreciate its ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"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."
"If you want a robust, flexible solution with no extra hardware that is easy to learn, then ODI is the right product for you."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"Bulk uploading can be a problem when you hit the upper limit."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"The stability of the ODI studio is not strong enough. It crashes occasionally."
"Error handling can always be improved with ODI. A lot of the errors are generic, but I will say that with a little experience, you can decipher the errors to help you fix them."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"I would like more different tools of transformation. In the current version I have only worked with lookup and filter, and sometimes it is not good enough for what I use it for."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"The tool should improve its pricing. It prevents the application of Oracle ODI on small and medium projects in countries like Croatia, Germany, or the US. While there are no technological obstacles to using it, the high price makes it unfeasible for projects with smaller budgets."
"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."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"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."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"The solution is very expensive."
"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
