"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"Integration with all systems is easy with Oracle Data Integrator, and it is easy to use. I have not used any other product, but with Oracle Data Integrator, we can easily connect to an ERP system, an SAP system, or a cloud application."
"In our DW/BI solution, ODI is the main tool to integrate the data in a daily batch way."
"It's completely user-friendly."
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"It's scalable."
"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."
"The product is very stable."
"The solution's ease-of-use is its most valuable feature, in which complex issues may be resolved."
"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."
"The Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."
"It's a visual tool, so our transformations can be quickly implemented without a lot of fuss. The fact that we have an easy way to expose REST services is also very interesting. It offers the possibility to connect over GMS to synchronize message brokers."
"It needs easier security."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"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."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"Technical Support could be better."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."
"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."
"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
"It is quite expensive."
"We'd like for them to open up to a more cloud-based solution that could offer more flexibility and maybe a better rules engine or more integration with rules engines."
