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.

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

"Scalability-wise, 12c is the best in its class."
"The user interface for the data integrator tool is probably the most valuable piece."
"ODI is a great ETL tool that you can use for implementation."
"ODI is really the tool for any kind of integration because it speaks the language of the technology we connect."
"This is a very, very stable product."
"Before adopting this solution we used to work hard, and we now feel better because our manual work is completely over."
"Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition has advanced capabilities like loading slowly changing dimensions, complex data integration process flow logic, re-usable mappings and design-time automation through scripting."
"My customers started to increase their ETL performance with great margins."
"The solution makes it easy to solve integration problems."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"The stability of the product is very good; there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."
"Someone who has to work on a PO should at least have a basic understanding of Java because as it is an integration tool, the way SAP provides to transform the messages from one structure to another is very good."
 

Cons

"It's quite an expensive solution. We'd like it if they could adjust the pricing according to the region they are operating in."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"If you are applying it on more clients, it becomes a thick client because to have the client installed, it needs memory from the desktops."
"The user interface is a little slow."
"There needs to better support of external version control software, currently only SVN is present, but I hear GIT is planned in a future patch."
"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."
"I rate it a seven out of 10 because there is room for growth because ODI is still new, in comparison to Informatica, which is a mature product."
"The stability of the ODI studio is not strong enough. It crashes occasionally."
"The main issue is that these products, which evolved from Process Integration to SAP Process Orchestration, will be replaced and will have no support in the future."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"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."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"The price for SAP Process Orchestration is a little high when compared to market trends, which is just how the business is."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"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."
"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 license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
