"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"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."
"Oracle provides great documentation."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."
"The technical support is excellent."
"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."
"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."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"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 initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"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."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
"ODI could improve by focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"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."
"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."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could use better documentation."
