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.
"Oracle provides great documentation."
"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."
"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."
"ODI's most valuable features are it utilizes the database engine and is very lightweight."
"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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 scalability of SSIS is good."
"It is easy to set up. The deployment is also very quick."
"Its compatibility with Microsoft products has been very valuable to our company. It fits well within the architecture."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching."
"It is also easy to learn and user-friendly. Microsoft is also good in terms of technical support. They have built a large community all over the world."
"The technical support is very good."
"The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"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."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"Technical Support could be better."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."
"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."
"In terms of its performance, it could be better. That could be something that would be easy and welcomed as an upgrade."
"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."
"We'd like more integration capabilities."
"Improving the login procedure would make our reporting easier on monitoring our ETL processes."
"I would also like to see full integration with our BI because then our full load of data will be available in our organization. They should incorporate an ATL process."
"I come from a coding background and this tool is graphically based. Sometimes I think it's cumbersome to do mapping graphically. If there was a way to provide a simple script, it would be helpful and make it easier to use."

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?
