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.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The speed in which we create/generate our ETL mappings has increased by at least a factor of four as compared to Oracle Warehouse Builder."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that it integrates well with almost all technologies currently being used in my company."
"The ability to extract from multiple sources, the flexibility of using the Knowledge module, and the ergonomics of the GUI are the features I've found most valuable."
"The tool improved our data integration workflow primarily due to its compatibility with Oracle. Its integration makes it very convenient for analytics. Its most valuable feature is robust extended capability. The solution's debugging capabilities are good."
"The Knowledge Module approach provides an easy and reusable way to create our own integration strategies. It's easy to create these Knowledge Modules to connect to new technologies, for instance."
"My customers started to increase their ETL performance with great margins."
"It effectively manages errors through its logging and exception-handling capabilities."
"The user interface for the data integrator tool is probably the most valuable piece."
"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
 

Cons

"There could be better compatibility with other ETL tools and cloud platforms."
"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."
"ETL process registry solution is missing."
"When I do a BI type of project, I like to pick the simplest declarative solution that I can find, but that sometimes puts a lot of burden on me personally to fix all of the nuances of the platform that I am integrating to and from."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is already good as a solution. Still, it needs some editing of its preview package, or if the package is upgraded, that will make Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) even better."
"Click intensive on mapping Lots of mouse clicking GUI could be improved."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

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."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"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."
"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."
"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 expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"The solution is very expensive."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
