Featured Reviews

Hafiz Mannan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support
SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's scalable."
"It effectively manages errors through its logging and exception-handling capabilities."
"The most valuable features of ODI are the ease of development, you can have a template, and you can onboard transfer very quickly. There's a lot of knowledge modules available that we can use. If you want to connect, for example, a Sibyl, SQL, Oracle, or different products, we don't have to develop them from scratch. They are available, but if it's not, we can go into the marketplace and see if there's a connector there. Having the connector available reduces the amount of hard work needed. We only have to put the inputs and outputs. In some of the products, we use there is already integration available for ODI, which is helpful."
"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."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
 

Cons

"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."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"ODI components may not fulfill as much as Informatica PowerCenter or IBM DataStage. The pushdown optimization is not as effective as other tools."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"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."
"It needs easier security."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"The user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."
"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"The solution is very expensive."
"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 rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"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."
"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
