We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) and SSIS based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Users seem to be more satisfied with SSIS because of its ease of deployment, its features, and its pricing.
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that it integrates well with almost all technologies currently being used in my company."
"The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."
"It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"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."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"It's a competent product."
"The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT."
"SSIS integrates well with SQL servers and Microsoft products."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."
"The most valuable features for our company are the flexibility and the quick turn around time in producing simple ETL solutions."
"Overall, it's a good product."
"The script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#."
"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
"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."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
"Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is already good as a solution. Still, it needs some editing of its preview package, or if the package is upgraded, that will make Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) even better."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"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."
"We'd like more integration capabilities."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
"I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory."
"It would be nice if you could run SSIS on other environments besides Windows."
"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."
"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."
"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."
"In terms of its performance, it could be better. That could be something that would be easy and welcomed as an upgrade."
Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is ranked 4th in Data Integration with 67 reviews while SSIS is ranked 2nd in Data Integration with 69 reviews. Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is rated 8.2, while SSIS is rated 7.6. 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 SSIS writes "Maintaining the solution and contacting its support team is easy". Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is most compared with Oracle Integration Cloud Service, Informatica PowerCenter, Azure Data Factory, Oracle GoldenGate and Talend Open Studio, whereas SSIS is most compared with Informatica PowerCenter, Talend Open Studio, IBM InfoSphere DataStage, AWS Glue and Azure Data Factory.

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.
Hi Rajneesh,

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?
