We performed a comparison between Fivetran and Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"The Knowledge Module approach provides an easy and reusable way to create our own integration strategies. It's easy to create these Knowledge Modules to connect to new technologies, for instance."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"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."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"It's scalable."
"The most valuable features of ODI are the ease of development, you can have a template, and you can onboard transfer very quickly. There's a lot of knowledge modules available that we can use. If you want to connect, for example, a Sibyl, SQL, Oracle, or different products, we don't have to develop them from scratch. They are available, but if it's not, we can go into the marketplace and see if there's a connector there. Having the connector available reduces the amount of hard work needed. We only have to put the inputs and outputs. In some of the products, we use there is already integration available for ODI, which is helpful."
"The initial setup is easy."
"One of the standout features of ODI is its ability to prepare everything on a vertical level and create reusable components, which adds to its value."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is already good as a solution. Still, it needs some editing of its preview package, or if the package is upgraded, that will make Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) even better."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"In our company, we haven't tried consuming services from IoT in our company yet, and I would like to know if the solution will support IoT services in the next release."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"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 focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"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."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
