Pros
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the ETL. The solution is open-source which provides advantages, such as good performance and high efficiency. Additionally, it supports three data types which eliminates predefining the data, and we can write script models in Python.""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its ease of use. If you have had some experience with other solutions, such as Snowflake, the use of this solution will be simple.""The product's initial setup phase was easy.""It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good.""The simplicity of this tool is nice. It has a good graphical user interface. You can also do a lot of generic stuff in the tool. If there is good connectivity to a cloud database, such as Snowflake, and you can have a lot of Snowflake functionality in the tool.""The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL.""The tool's middle-dimensional structure significantly simplifies obtaining the right data at the appropriate level. This feature makes deploying our applications easier since we utilize a single source without publishing data from various sources.""It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."

More Matillion ETL Pros →

"The product has an ELT approach.""It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions.""All ETL code is stored in repositories in underlying database schemas. The number of users can access and work on the same solution using a client tool. So distributed teams can work on this tool in an efficient manner.""It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases.""Oracle provides great documentation.""​All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration.""The most valuable feature is Data movement.""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."

Cons
"It can have multi-environment support. We should be able to deploy it in different environments. Its integration with SAP connection is not so nice, which should be improved. It can also support an on-prem database.""While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use.""Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster.""Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion.""The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine.""There are certain functions that are available in other ETL tools which are still not present in Matillion ETL. It would be good to have more features.""Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more.""I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."

More Matillion ETL Cons →

"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.""We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI.""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 you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems.""It has been very good. Just recently, I've faced an issue, but I solved it somehow. While integrating with a file, I faced an issue where I wanted output files, and I had used the text field limited quotations, but at the end of the file, there was a line breakage for the last column. So, we just removed the text field because it was not working correctly for us.""I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio).""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.""Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
  • "It is cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."
  • "The prices needs to be lower."
  • "It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
  • "Purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace is pretty convenient. There is a little bit of back and forth in terms of the licensing based on the machine size, but it seems to have worked out well. it is convenient to have it all as part of our AWS billing."
  • "It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
  • "The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
  • "It was procured through the AWS Marketplace because it keeps things simple. They offer retail-like checkout and bill through your existing Amazon Web Services account."

    ODI has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

    • Automatic documentation generation
    • Visualization of data flows in the interfaces
    • Customization of generated code
    • Automatic reverse-engineering of existing applications or databases
    • Graphical development and maintenance of transformation and integration interfaces
    • Robust data integrity control features, assuring the consistency and correctness of data
    • Powerful core differentiators
    • Heterogeneous ELT, declarative design and knowledge modules
    • Flexibility and modularity
    • Oracle Data Integrator repository
    • Topology navigator
    • Operator Navigator

    • Efficient architecture: Oracle Data Integrator has a simple architecture that utilizes the source and target servers to perform complex transformations, making it an efficient solution.
    • Supports all platforms: ODI gives you platform independence by supporting all platforms, hardware, and OSes with the same software.
    • Cost-effective: Oracle Data Integrator reduces costs associated with initial hardware and software acquisition, and also decreases maintenance costs because it eliminates the need for an ETL Server and an ETL engine.
    • Automatic detection of faulty data: By using ODI, faulty data is recycled before insertion in the target application, providing you with a data quality firewall.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) solution.

    Brian D., Business Process and Strategy Specialist Advisor at NTTData, says, “The Knowledge Module (KM) is my favorite feature of ODI. This is where I learned how to use variables to make jobs dynamic. I took that knowledge and created a KM that would go into iTunes and pull the sales of eBooks. Making something that is reusable, like a KM, is important to not only reduce build time but also maintenance in the future.”

    Ashok S., Applications Support Manager at a marketing services firm, mentions, "The most valuable features of ODI are the ease of development, you can have a template, and you can onboard transfer very quickly. There's a lot of knowledge modules available that we can use. If you want to connect, for example, a Sibyl, SQL, Oracle, or different products, we don't have to develop them from scratch. They are available, but if it's not, we can go into the marketplace and see if there's a connector there. Having the connector available reduces the amount of hard work needed. We only have to put the inputs and outputs. In some of the products, we use there is already integration available for ODI, which is helpful."
