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.
"It's completely user-friendly."
"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"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 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."
"The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"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 feature is Data movement."
"SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services."
"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The scalability of SSIS is good."
"It's a competent product."
"SSIS integrates well with SQL servers and Microsoft products."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"It needs easier security."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"The stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. "
"Technical Support could be better."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
"We In upgrading SSIS, we encountered challenges fixing SQL Server and performance issues, including problems during a failover in our data warehouse."
"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."
"SSIS can improve by the minimum code requirements in stored procedures and exporting data is difficult. They could make it easier, it should be as easy as it is to import data."
"We'd like more integration capabilities."
"The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"The interface could use improvement, as well as the administrative tools. Jobs fail from time to time for different reasons. It's not a problem with Microsoft, or SSIS itself. The problems are external, but to find the problems and analyze them it takes too much time."
"I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory."
Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is ranked 4th in Data Integration with 65 reviews while SSIS is ranked 2nd in Data Integration with 68 reviews. Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is rated 8.2, while SSIS is rated 7.8. 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,

We usually use Talend.

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: https://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?
