We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere Information Server 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."IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."
"The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature."
"This solution is extremely flexible and scalable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"Oracle provides great documentation."
"ODI's most valuable features are it utilizes the database engine and is very lightweight."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing."
"Their technical support needs improvement."
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
"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."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
"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 lacks some functions and features."
