JumpMind SymmetricDS is a powerful data replication software that provides synchronization software solutions for both databases and filesystems. This software is platform-independent and web-enabled as well as database agnostic. JumpMind SymmetricDS creates prompt bi-directional data replication while scaling to a large amount of nodes and working in close to real time across both WAN and LAN networks. This allows companies to integrate data using the feature for continuous change data capture.
This data replication software allows companies with limited network bandwidth or bad connectivity to benefit from excellent cloud conditions. The greatest benefit of JumpMind SymmetricDS is its vast integration across databases, streaming platforms, and data warehouses. Some of the relational databases where this data replication software can be used include Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sybase, Informix, Ingres, Tiber, and VoltDB. NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Apache Cassandra, and Azure Cosmos are also compatible with the JumpMind SymmetricDS data replication software. The data warehouses that are compatible with this software include Teradata, SAP HANA, Azure-SQL server by Microsoft, BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Pivotal Greenplum, and Snowflake data warehouse. Providing coverage of so many databases and warehouses allows broad outreach of the JumpMind SymmetricDS across many different companies and users.
JumpMind SymmetricDS Features
JumpMind SymmetricDS offers many valuable features, including:
-
Easy setup and configuration processes: JumpMind SymmetricDS’s web interface allows even beginners to grasp its basic functions. There is an option for a configuration tour, which provides an explanation of how changes can be applied. This feature helps experienced specialists to operate faster while also providing guidance on usage for complete beginners.
-
Flexible data replication: Users can synchronize data across remote networks' nodes with low bandwidth usage, allowing their configuration as well as that of groups.
-
Monitoring and troubleshooting: JumpMind SymmetricDS users can access graphically visualized data replication through the main dashboard, allowing them to identify any errors and resolve them in a timely manner.
-
File synchronization: Users can run continuous or periodic synchronization of the copying their files between multiple nodes. The synchronization can wait during periods of downtime and resume once the network is available.
-
Performance and scaling: JumpMind SymmetricDS quickly synchronizes data with a large number of databases.
Other features include tools for conflict detection and resolution, embedding and extending, filtering, subsetting, and transforming.

Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is a data integration software solution that provides a unified infrastructure to streamline data and application integration projects. It uses a powerful design approach to data integration, which separates the declarative rules from the implementation details. The solution is based on a unique ELT (Extract Load Transform) architecture, eliminating the need for a standalone ETL server and proprietary engine.
Oracle Data Integrator Features
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
- Security Navigator
- Integrator Console
- ODI domains
Oracle Data Integrator Benefits
There are many benefits to implementing ODI. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:
-
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.
-
Easy development and maintenance: With a low learning curve, Oracle Data Integrator increases developer productivity while facilitating ongoing maintenance.
-
Active integration: ODI includes all styles of data integration: data-based, event-based and service-based.
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."
The Relational Junction suite offers a unique approach to integration that: Leverages existing database skills; Learn the entire product in an hour; Supports best practices for development and testing of complex systems; Provides a high performance, low footprint, fault-tolerant runtime environment. Products include: - Relational Junction ETL Manager -- SQL-based Extract-Transform-Load for databases, flat files, XML, and a variety of other data sources.
