Pros
"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar.""The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application.""The way that the solution scans is very useful.""The metadata management of Informatica is great.""It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities.""The product seems stable enough.""We can scan anything.""Offers data lineage feature"

"It is a scalable solution.""The most valuable feature is the ease of customization.""The most important part would be the use of connectors. The significant number of cloud connectors available for active integration is its value.""OIC offers a number of pre-built technology and SaaS adapters for high productivity for a wide range of target systems, both in-house via agents and cloud/SaaS, via a very flexible range of interfaces.""Technical support responds quickly.""The most valuable features of this solution are the SFTP adapters, file adapters, and risk adapters, that we use in everyday projects.""The out-of-box integration between Oracle and SAP is really beneficial""Oracle Integration Cloud Service integrates well and is user-friendly.

Cons
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future.""It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen.""The scalability is tough.""Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms.""This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems.""The UI is extremely complex""Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly.""IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."

More Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog Cons →

"The support and resources were lacking — they weren't there.""There is a payload size limit and we're unable to integrate some legacy applications.""The solution's customer service could be better.""Now the platform is not built in a way that you can define.""Configurable timeouts on each connection would be good.""If an inbound file is larger than one GB, it cannot be transformed within Oracle.""It has lengthy documentation, making the process of building applications more time-consuming.""In designer mode, sometimes the browser closure or other unknown issues can cause strange behavior, which requires a restart."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Oracle Integration Cloud Service is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it has good adapters, is user friendly, and produces a solid ROI.

    Rishabh S., Business and Technology Delivery Associate Manager at Accenture, says, “It has good performance, easy integration, is user-friendly, and also has helpful technical support. The dashboard provided by Oracle Integration Cloud for monitoring and error handling is very intuitive. You do not need a third-party dashboard or logging framework when you initiate the integration. There are a lot of adapters, which is what I like the most.”

    “The most valuable features of this solution are the SFTP adapters, file adapters, and risk adapters, that we use in everyday projects,” says PeerSpot user Arun N., Technical Manager at a financial services firm.

    Kanhaiya C., Solution Architect at Tata Consultancy, explains, "Oracle Integration Cloud Service is a really good product and the ROI is very good with it. It lowers development time. A development cycle that may have taken a year without Oracle Integration Cloud Service can drop down to three or four months with it."
