We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) and SAS Data Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"All ETL code is stored in repositories in underlying database schemas. The number of users can access and work on the same solution using a client tool. So distributed teams can work on this tool in an efficient manner."
"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."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"Oracle provides great documentation."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"The technical support is excellent."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"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."
"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 product offers very good flexibility."
"Technical Support could be better."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"If there was an add-on tool to hide the performance issues and solve them for me, then I might be interested in that as it would provide me value."
"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."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
"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. Real-time integration should be easier in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). Another area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is integration with more publishers and subscribers rather than just database integrations."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"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 solution could use better documentation."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
