We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) and Oracle GoldenGate 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."Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"Integration with all systems is easy with Oracle Data Integrator, and it is easy to use. I have not used any other product, but with Oracle Data Integrator, we can easily connect to an ERP system, an SAP system, or a cloud application."
"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"It's scalable."
"It's completely user-friendly."
"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."
"They've recently improved the ease of implementation."
"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
"It is a scalable solution."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"ODI could improve by focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"The tool should improve its pricing. It prevents the application of Oracle ODI on small and medium projects in countries like Croatia, Germany, or the US. While there are no technological obstacles to using it, the high price makes it unfeasible for projects with smaller budgets."
"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."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
"It is not a very stable tool, and you need to monitor it perfectly."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"In some cases, expectations were not met, especially when specific tables were expected to be disabled, and changes were anticipated in the target environment. We had to take backups from the source and refresh the address to address this."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"The solution costs a lot."
Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is ranked 4th in Data Integration with 67 reviews while Oracle GoldenGate is ranked 6th in Data Integration with 47 reviews. Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is rated 8.2, while Oracle GoldenGate is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) writes "Straightforward to implement, scalable, and has good stability and documentation, but technical support could still be improved". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Oracle GoldenGate writes "Performs real-time replication without data loss, but we cannot do much automation". Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is most compared with Oracle Integration Cloud Service, SSIS, Informatica PowerCenter, Azure Data Factory and Talend Open Studio, whereas Oracle GoldenGate is most compared with AWS Database Migration Service, Qlik Replicate, Quest SharePlex, Azure Data Factory and IBM InfoSphere DataStage.

There are two products I know about
* TimeXtender : Microsoft based, Transformation logic is quiet good and can easily be extended with T-SQL , Has a semantic layer that generates metat data for cubes . price approx 40K$, works with tables
. Attunity (Bought by Qlik) : technology agnostic , nice web interface , expensive > 100K€. Works with transaction logs
There are many other pure ETL tools
* ERWIN has a nice one ,
Depends upon the technologies being used. If you're using Oracle for both OLTP and OLAP then you'll get a lot of value from an Oracle solution.
The other question is how up to date do you want your OLAP DB to be? Goldengate is a good answer if you're looking to minimize latency, but it can be expensive. ODI is less expensive but better suited to bulkier data sets. If an Oracle product wasn't the option I'd probably consider something like Informatica.

As someone mentioned, if you're purely Oracle shop and staying that way then there's value with prioritizing Oracle tools. However, let me contrast that with this caveat...
Consider expectations for tool and vendor longevity. Oracle has a long history of retiring and/or replacing tools leaving customers in the cold with prior versions/tools (I've been burned multiple times by Oracle product retirements or replacements including OWB, Oracle Designer2k, Oracle Express, Oracle OEDW, their purchase of Sagent ETL which as later abandoned).
But I would also consider these questions and relative prioritization:
What is your organization's plans for moving to other database technologies?
Where is your org going with on-prem versus cloud solutions? How important are PaaS versus IaaS solutions?
Where is your current staff's expertise?
Prioritize mature over immature tools.
How many sources do you have? What are their technologies and does the integration tool support them?
Is it just moving data from a single ERP such as Oracle EBS to Olap? When you say Olap what do you mean by that? Are you talking Oracle Olap product or something else? That makes a really big difference of course - if your ETL tool doesn't support your source(s) and target(s) then it shouldn't be considered.
Given the industry's trajectory, I myself would highly prioritize PaaS solutions over others.
What is the OLAP that you are using? Hosted in Cloud or on-premise?
The target DB should have its tool to extract data.
Pentaho is a really nice tool if opensource is the only option.
Please think about issues such as upgrade and disaster in the future. These operations are very easy in Pentaho.
I can only suggest one thing for replication and that is Qlik. (ex-Attunity).
Hi Karoly, Thanks for your input. community: forums.pentaho.com is not allowing new registrations for new users. I guess they accept queries from customers only and not from any one. Do you know any other forum, community, SMEs contacts who can help on queries?
