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.

A cloud solution that has a lot of connectors, but it should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples
Smaller customers who want to integrate with other systems don't need too much in-house expertise in terms of technology. They can hire consultants who can implement this solution for them, and they don't have to maintain any infrastructure. For a smaller setup, it is a go-to integration system wherein they don't need a lot of expertise or infrastructure. The solution's UI is pretty intuitive and easy. It is good for smaller integration use cases. I think it would be a problem for bigger use cases. Overall, I rate TIBCO Scribe a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Besides loading data, we do most of our transformations in ODI."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"ODI is a great ETL tool that you can use for implementation."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"Far more efficient and robust than OWB, (it was the natural evolution for us)."
"Rather than taking your production, or your business, and trying to make it fit a tool, you do the opposite; you make the tool fit your business."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"It is still not as stable as the old BI Apps and ELT tools were, but it's getting there."
"The user interface is a little slow."
"As with any big tool, truly mastering ODI may take months."
"ODI's "in-memory RDBMS" is still a black box for programmers as there are no tools/dashboards to monitor/administrate this in-memory database."
"In our company, we haven't tried consuming services from IoT in our company yet, and I would like to know if the solution will support IoT services in the next release."
"When developing on huge internal repositories, the performance is often quite poor."
"Oracle takes a long time to respond and to provide a fix for issues. It takes, sometimes, up to eight weeks before Oracle will say that the issue is a bug."
"Oracle support services are not up to the mark."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
"The solution is very expensive."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
"Per user, it is $900 USD per year, though they will give some discount. However, even a 60% to 70% of discount for each won't help us much. On top of that, there is the perpetual license you must pay at the outset."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"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."
