We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerExchange, Mule Anypoint Platform, and Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), MuleSoft, Matillion and others in Cloud Data Integration."The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"The scalability is excellent."
"The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems."
"It is a scalable and versatile solution."
"The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine."
"The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The solution's deployment and proxy processes are very good."
"Overall, it is a pretty good product. It is also very scalable."
"MuleSoft offers with the Anypoint Platform a unified platform for API management and an integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) as well as an on-premise Enterprise Service Bus pattern."
"The most valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."
"Whenever we need some support in our local language, we get it easily. They also have an office in Germany and if a person is unable to contact them by phone, they can go to the office in person."
"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."
"It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases."
"ODI's most valuable features are it utilizes the database engine and is very lightweight."
"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."
"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"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."
"The product has an ELT approach."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"The major shortcoming of PowerExchange is high availability and failover. None of the versions we've used to date have had the out-of-the-box ability to enable failover and high-availability requirements. This is a significant challenge and risk."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time."
"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."
"The stability could be better."
"I would like to see some data integration and automation."
"Mule should have better B2B integration."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"It needs easier security."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is real-time integration. Currently, my company has a workaround to implement real-time integration, an area on which Oracle must focus more. Real-time integration should be easier in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). Another area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is integration with more publishers and subscribers rather than just database integrations."
"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."
"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."
"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."
