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.

Real-time integration and seamless data synchronization enhance user experience
The stability of Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is one of its most useful features, although its performance is not too steady. It excels with bidirectional data synchronization. It supports diverse databases and platforms. We link the ODS with numerous source systems, including Oracle, Tarek Data, and Microsoft, with no integration issues. The solution caters to enterprise needs, fitting any organizational requirement, apart from data security issues common to cloud solutions. The cloud data security challenge is notable, necessitating solutions such as private cloud offerings to allay security concerns.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allows us to use many languages to develop and to integrate practically all the technologies of the Oracle suite as well as those from non-Oracle vendors."
"The user interface for the data integrator tool is probably the most valuable piece."
"I love working with ODI because it tests your thought limits and creativity and the possibilities are endless when it comes to innovative tasks."
"It allows a single skill set to handle virtually all of the data transport and transformation needs of a company."
"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."
"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."
"Our developers created best performing ETLs with very little effort leveraging this feature."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."
"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."
"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud, as instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."
"GoldenGate is a good solution to implement in terms of scalability and flexibility."
"The stability of Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is one of its most useful features, although its performance is not too steady; it excels with bidirectional data synchronization and supports diverse databases and platforms."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
 

Cons

"When I do a BI type of project, I like to pick the simplest declarative solution that I can find, but that sometimes puts a lot of burden on me personally to fix all of the nuances of the platform that I am integrating to and from."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"Customer Service: It could be better. Technical Support: It could be better."
"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."
"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
"As with any big tool, truly mastering ODI may take months."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."
"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"Pricing is rather expensive. Oracle typically prices on the higher side, and there is scope for them to reconsider the price, especially since it is a cloud service."
"With Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, we have usual cloud solution issues such as privacy and data security."
"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"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 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."
"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
"The solution is very expensive."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
