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."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."
"This solution is extremely flexible and scalable."
"ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"The most valuable features of ODI are the knowledge modules, such as the Loading Knowledge module and the Check Knowledge module, they are helpful. We can check for the constraints in ODI. That helps in figuring out what are the constraints that are the primary keys created in the tables. We can check them with the Check Knowledge module."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"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."
"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"It's completely user-friendly."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"Their technical support needs improvement."
"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."
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
"Technical Support could be better."
"The stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. "
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"I rate it a seven out of 10 because there is room for growth because ODI is still new, in comparison to Informatica, which is a mature product."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"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."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
