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.

Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"​All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"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."
"The main benefits that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) brings to the table include data quality, data completeness functionality, metadata management, and the reverse engineering feature, which allows integrating the metadata of diversified data sources with a single click."
"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."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"The rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features."
"This product is very easy to use."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading."
 

Cons

"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"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 Oracle Data Integrator interface is extremely slow, especially when using remote desktop connections."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"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 tool should improve its pricing. It prevents the application of Oracle ODI on small and medium projects in countries like Croatia, Germany, or the US. While there are no technological obstacles to using it, the high price makes it unfeasible for projects with smaller budgets."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"The server-side should be completely revamped."
"The solution should integrate with a version control system in the subscription versions to make it easy to work with and manage the version control."
"Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
"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."
"The solution is very expensive."
"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."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"For Talend Open Studio, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. Talend Open Studio is a bit expensive, in my opinion."
"It is an open-source product."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
