We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), Talend Data Management Platform, and TIBCO BusinessWorks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"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."
"It allows us to use many languages to develop and to integrate practically all the technologies of the Oracle suite as well as those from non-Oracle vendors."
"Most of the functions are very straightforward, like the data model, mapping, package, and load plan. Thus, a new user could get started very fast."
"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."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"Good performance and reliability."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"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 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."
"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."
"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."
"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
"The technical support's turnaround time is an area where TIBCO needs to consider improvements...Getting support from TIBCO on a particular issue takes a lot of turnaround time."
