Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."In our DW/BI solution, ODI is the main tool to integrate the data in a daily batch way."
"The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that it integrates well with almost all technologies currently being used in my company."
"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"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."
"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."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"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."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"ODI could improve by being more user-friendly. Informatica, which is also an ETL tool, similar to ODI, but Informatica is very user-friendly, easy to use, and simple to integrate, compared to ODI. ODI has many features, put them all together, and sometimes we get confused about which ones to use, which ones not to use."
"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 solution lacks some functions and features."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"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."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"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."
"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."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
