We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) and SAP Data Services 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."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."
"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."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"Most of the functions are very straightforward, like the data model, mapping, package, and load plan. Thus, a new user could get started very fast."
"The installation of the client ODI Studio is easy."
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."
"The product has an ELT approach."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The most valuable features of SAP Data Services lie in its ability to effectively observe and interpret the information within data related to people or facts, stands out."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"The most valuable feature is the ETL functionality."
"I like how SAP Data Services links reporting and data integration. That's what's most interesting. You also have the opportunity to leverage the power of the Data Services server."
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"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."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"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."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"Scheduling of jobs in the sequence is not available. It's a very tedious process to do that particular task. If there was a tool to schedule in the sequence that would be extremely helpful."
"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
"The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements."
"I want some more business intelligence applications. People need to know more and more about data, including the transformation rules, etc. Informatica is a better product for data cataloging. SAP should update the data catalog."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
