Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."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."
"The installation of the client ODI Studio is easy."
"It's completely user-friendly."
"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."
"One of the standout features of ODI is its ability to prepare everything on a vertical level and create reusable components, which adds to its value."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"Besides loading data, we do most of our transformations in ODI."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its amazing capabilities in regard to data handling."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"I like the data vault implementations."
"WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing."
"It has a built-in automatic scheduling environment."
"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."
"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 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."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"ODI could improve by being more user-friendly. Informatica, which is also an ETL tool, similar to ODI, but Informatica is very user-friendly, easy to use, and simple to integrate, compared to ODI. ODI has many features, put them all together, and sometimes we get confused about which ones to use, which ones not to use."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."
"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."
"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
