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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Customer Service: We have a support contract with Jumpmind. The support resources are readily available and provide expert support to any questions."
"It is fully featured, has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do, is very easy to use and install, is pretty self-explanatory, and their support was also very good."
"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."
"This is a very, very stable product."
"Oracle Data Integrator offers a very good development environment and supports the use of multiple programming languages, including Python. It runs scenarios effectively, even when executing complex, long SQL scripts that are not runnable on other clients."
"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."
"Go ahead it is a very good, stable and reliable product."
"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 possibilities provided by using knowledge modules and the integration with other Oracle products."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"If you are applying it on more clients, it becomes a thick client because to have the client installed, it needs memory from the desktops."
"​The stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. ​"
"Technical support for ODI has been awful, but I think it differs by product because support for OFSAA is wonderful."
"The user interface is a little slow."
"I am personally satisfied with current version, however, I think they should be able to provide a feature where we can easily use a configuration tool for TFS, GIT etc."
"Perhaps more learning resources related to ODI would be helpful."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is very expensive."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"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 license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"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."
