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."This solution is extremely flexible and scalable."
"The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"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."
"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."
"Besides loading data, we do most of our transformations in ODI."
"Oracle provides great documentation."
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases."
"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."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"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."
"The stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. "
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"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."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"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."
