We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), TIBCO BusinessWorks, and Workato based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases."
"It's completely user-friendly."
"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."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."
"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 most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"Customer support is very efficient."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"ODI could improve by focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"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 initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"It needs easier security."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"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."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"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 cost has room for improvement."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"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."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
