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

"​All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"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 scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."
"Scalability-wise, 12c is the best in its class."
"ODI has made it possible for our organization to rapidly build robust integrations that process large data."
"It uses the power of the database system efficiently."
"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."
"Because the code to support those columns is shared across the whole solution, we are now capable of getting the auditing information for every single piece of data in the entire solution, without having to code it individually for each stream."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"I encountered many problems with the ODI web agent (service that actually executes all the integration tasks) in the 11g version, which was not stable."
"ODI could improve by being more user-friendly. Informatica, which is also an ETL tool, similar to ODI, but Informatica is very user-friendly, easy to use, and simple to integrate, compared to ODI. ODI has many features, put them all together, and sometimes we get confused about which ones to use, which ones not to use."
"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
"Customer Service: It could be better. Technical Support: It could be better."
"Overall performance needs improvement. Especially when running ODI clients on Windows desktops."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"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 rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"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."
"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 have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
