Jagadish Sau - PeerSpot reviewer
Straightforward to implement, scalable, and has good stability and documentation, but technical support could still be improved
My company has around ten users of Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). A team of two to five people handles the deployment and maintenance of the solution. The current client of my company has this plan of moving to the cloud, with the possibility of replacing the ETL tool altogether, which could mean that more data is coming up, so there may be a plan to increase the usage of Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). My advice to others looking into implementing Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that if your database is on Oracle or SQL server, then Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is a good tool to use. My rating for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is seven out of ten.

A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"Oracle Data Integrator offers a very good development environment and supports the use of multiple programming languages, including Python. It runs scenarios effectively, even when executing complex, long SQL scripts that are not runnable on other clients."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward, especially compared to Mule, which our team has worked with before and found to be a bit more complex in terms of setup."
"Oracle provides great documentation."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"The data lineage is great."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
 

Cons

"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is already good as a solution. Still, it needs some editing of its preview package, or if the package is upgraded, that will make Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) even better."
"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."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"Oracle support services are not up to the mark."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The workflow could be improved."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
"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."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"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."
"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
