Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"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."
"Besides loading data, we do most of our transformations in ODI."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"It's scalable."
"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features."
"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"It has been very good. Just recently, I've faced an issue, but I solved it somehow. While integrating with a file, I faced an issue where I wanted output files, and I had used the text field limited quotations, but at the end of the file, there was a line breakage for the last column. So, we just removed the text field because it was not working correctly for us."
"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."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
"Technical Support could be better."
"The stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. "
"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."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."
