We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), SAS Access, and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It's completely user-friendly."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"ODI's most valuable features are it utilizes the database engine and is very lightweight."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."
"The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"Application integration, business process integration, and B2B partner integration are valuable. But among these, I feel B2B partner integration is the most valuable. This module integrates two business partners and exchanges data through electronic data interchange messages in the form of specific standards, without any manual process needed."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"I would say the core Web-based integrations work the best. They are the most efficient and robust implementations one can do with webMethods."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."
"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"The stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. "
"The interface of ODI could be improved. For example, navigating and finding functions can be difficult. For example, you have to know which step you need to go to look at where your job status is. The logical step is a bit complex compared to other tools. It's much easier to get a graphical view, but with ODI, it's graphical, plus you have to know all the other pieces that fit around it. You have to think about the logical and physical aspects."
"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."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"Technical Support could be better."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."
"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."
"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"Documentation needs tuning. There is a lot of dependency with SoftwareAG. Even with the documentation at hand, you can struggle to implement scenarios without SAG’s help. By contrast, IBM’s documentation is self-explanatory, in my opinion."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."
