We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) and Workato based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of ODI are the ease of development, you can have a template, and you can onboard transfer very quickly. There's a lot of knowledge modules available that we can use. If you want to connect, for example, a Sibyl, SQL, Oracle, or different products, we don't have to develop them from scratch. They are available, but if it's not, we can go into the marketplace and see if there's a connector there. Having the connector available reduces the amount of hard work needed. We only have to put the inputs and outputs. In some of the products, we use there is already integration available for ODI, which is helpful."
"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."
"The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"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 installation of the client ODI Studio is easy."
"It's scalable."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"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."
"Technical Support could be better."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is real-time integration. Currently, my company has a workaround to implement real-time integration, an area on which Oracle must focus more. Real-time integration should be easier in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). Another area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is integration with more publishers and subscribers rather than just database integrations."
"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."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"The tool should improve its pricing. It prevents the application of Oracle ODI on small and medium projects in countries like Croatia, Germany, or the US. While there are no technological obstacles to using it, the high price makes it unfeasible for projects with smaller budgets."
"The stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. "
"If there was an add-on tool to hide the performance issues and solve them for me, then I might be interested in that as it would provide me value."
"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."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"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."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
