We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), Spring Cloud Data Flow, and WhereScape RED based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."Besides loading data, we do most of our transformations in ODI."
"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."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward, especially compared to Mule, which our team has worked with before and found to be a bit more complex in terms of setup."
"It's completely user-friendly."
"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."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like."
"There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."
"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."
"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"It needs easier security."
"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving."
"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications."
"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."
"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."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"Technical support isn't the best."
