Offers a very good development environment and supports the use of multiple programming languages
We are using a graphical tool called PowerDesigner to create logical and physical models. From that, we create code that can be run by Oracle Data Integrator, which then maps the data based on these models and sends it to its destination. It is currently very integrated with Oracle The Oracle…

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

"All ETL code is stored in repositories in underlying database schemas. The number of users can access and work on the same solution using a client tool. So distributed teams can work on this tool in an efficient manner."
"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that it integrates well with almost all technologies currently being used in my company."
"It uses the power of the database system efficiently."
"The product has an ELT approach."
"The Knowledge Module approach provides an easy and reusable way to create our own integration strategies. It's easy to create these Knowledge Modules to connect to new technologies, for instance."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"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."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The data lineage is great."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
 

Cons

"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"ODI components may not fulfill as much as Informatica PowerCenter or IBM DataStage. The pushdown optimization is not as effective as other tools."
"Oracle support services are not up to the mark."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is real-time integration. Currently, my company has a workaround to implement real-time integration, an area on which Oracle must focus more. Real-time integration should be easier in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). Another area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is integration with more publishers and subscribers rather than just database integrations."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"If there was an add-on tool to hide the performance issues and solve them for me, then I might be interested in that as it would provide me value."
"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."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"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."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
"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."
"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
