We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) and WhereScape RED based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Most of the functions are very straightforward, like the data model, mapping, package, and load plan. Thus, a new user could get started very fast."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"The tool improved our data integration workflow primarily due to its compatibility with Oracle. Its integration makes it very convenient for analytics. Its most valuable feature is robust extended capability. The solution's debugging capabilities are good."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"In our DW/BI solution, ODI is the main tool to integrate the data in a daily batch way."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"It has a built-in automatic scheduling environment."
"I like the data vault implementations."
"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."
"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"ODI could improve by being more user-friendly. Informatica, which is also an ETL tool, similar to ODI, but Informatica is very user-friendly, easy to use, and simple to integrate, compared to ODI. ODI has many features, put them all together, and sometimes we get confused about which ones to use, which ones not to use."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"ODI could improve by focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"There are certain things where it can be improved. Initial solution setup seems a bit complex at the start, it should be improved because it becomes bit tough for a novice to get started on this. Sometimes error description is not helpful to understand the problem it gives some generic type of errors which are at times not that helpful to understand the underlying root cause of the issue."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
