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.

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable
The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"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."
"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."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"The solution is very stable and it's great once you get it working correctly."
"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 feature is the metadata generated code and data structures and that it is a fully integrated environment."
"WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time."
"We are now 2.5 years into using WhereScape and all warehouse code we have converted from our old tool to WhereScape has performed faster; anywhere from 20-80% reduction in processing time."
"It has a built-in automatic scheduling environment."
"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."
"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
 

Cons

"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"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 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."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"Customization could be better."
"I don't think the solution is very stable. Even though I like this tool numerous bugs made it difficult and unreliable."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"The only other thing I would note is that the IDE isn’t as intuitive as I would like."
"There are some newer features that haven't been included in the training materials yet so they're a little outdated (although the help documentation is very good)."
"I would love to see a GUI interface for defining dependencies between build processes."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
"ROI is at least 10 times."
"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."
"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
"Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."
