"It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases."
"The initial setup is easy."

ODI has many features, put them all together, and sometimes we get confused about which ones to use, which ones not to use."
"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.

Another area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is integration with more publishers and subscribers rather than just database integrations."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
