"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"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."
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"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."
"It's scalable."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve."
"The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"Zapier is user friendly and makes it easy to integrate different tools. It has a drag and drop functionality which makes it easy to connect environments."
"Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices."
"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"What's most valuable in Zapier is its simplicity, seamlessness, and smooth plug-in, so you won't need to build code for every action. I'm not a developer, but I can use Zapier."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"ODI could improve by focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"I rate it a seven out of 10 because there is room for growth because ODI is still new, in comparison to Informatica, which is a mature product."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it."
"After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail."
"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
"Zapier needs to improve in the same way most RPA solutions should, such as Robocorp, Make, or UiPath. They are not good at helping you find the connections that you need for the problem that you have. For example, if need something on Instagram. I'm going to have to do research for hours to be able to find the components or the app, which is going to do what I need it to do. It makes it difficult to use the system when you don't know what to use."
"It is not worth the money if you have a little bit of a technical mind...Zapier is not able to set up different modules. When automation doesn't work, it's not that easy to find why it didn't work."
"The solution does not work properly when we apply filters and we get errors."
"Some apps are not available yet. For instance, a connection with Joomla! would be great. In general, all the most-used apps are available, but I bumped into Joomla! with a client."
