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."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."
"The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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 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 is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"In our DW/BI solution, ODI is the main tool to integrate the data in a daily batch way."
"The installation of the client ODI Studio is easy."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"It needs easier security."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
