Offers a very good development environment and supports the use of multiple programming languages
We are using a graphical tool called PowerDesigner to create logical and physical models. From that, we create code that can be run by Oracle Data Integrator, which then maps the data based on these models and sends it to its destination. It is currently very integrated with Oracle The Oracle…

Allows you to develop your own components and can be used as an OEM
Sometimes, scalability is part of planning. It depends on what you mean by scalability. People talk a lot about it, but scalability is not always about system functionality. Sometimes, it may be planning the job you're doing. If you want to split it into several jobs or servers, you don't actually have to have it built in as a functionality. You can create a job using a loop, which runs and controls several jobs in a loop that may be controlled. Scaling should not always be part of the infrastructure based on whether the engine can scale or not. I think it's your plan or project that should scale and split, and you can define these parameters. These parameters include how many servers you want to run or how many executions you want to do on different parts of the data. It's not always an issue of the engine running. Sometimes, your database should be configured to support partitioning. The product may scale very well without partitioning, but if the basic response is very slow, you didn't solve the problem. You should solve the problems at a higher level, not just at the execution level. They should be solved at the database level and communication level, and you should have firewalls. We are trying to add to the open source the ability to generate code for containers and Kubernetes that exist in the subscription version. Once you do this, Kubernetes will take care of the scaling, so there is no problem.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"​All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"Oracle provides great documentation."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"Besides loading data, we do most of our transformations in ODI."
"Integration with all systems is easy with Oracle Data Integrator, and it is easy to use. I have not used any other product, but with Oracle Data Integrator, we can easily connect to an ERP system, an SAP system, or a cloud application."
"Oracle Data Integrator offers a very good development environment and supports the use of multiple programming languages, including Python. It runs scenarios effectively, even when executing complex, long SQL scripts that are not runnable on other clients."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"We're sold on the customization part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"Stability feels fine."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups."
 

Cons

"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."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"Oracle support services are not up to the mark."
"ODI could improve by focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"The Oracle Data Integrator interface is extremely slow, especially when using remote desktop connections."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
"The product could be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing isn't expensive, but it's not cheap, so it's in the middle. I'd rate the pricing as three out of five."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"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."

"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
