We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), TIBCO Scribe, and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The Knowledge Module approach provides an easy and reusable way to create our own integration strategies. It's easy to create these Knowledge Modules to connect to new technologies, for instance."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It's scalable."
"It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases."
"Oracle provides great documentation."
"Integration with all systems is easy with Oracle Data Integrator, and it is easy to use. I have not used any other product, but with Oracle Data Integrator, we can easily connect to an ERP system, an SAP system, or a cloud application."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"The ease of mapping... is the single largest feature. It gives us the ability to craft anything. A lot of single-purpose technologies, like Mirth, are good for healthcare messages, but we use webMethods not only for healthcare messages but for other business-related purposes, like integrations to Salesforce or integrations to Office 365. It's multi-purpose nature is very strong."
"It's a visual tool, so our transformations can be quickly implemented without a lot of fuss. The fact that we have an easy way to expose REST services is also very interesting. It offers the possibility to connect over GMS to synchronize message brokers."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."
"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of webMethods Integration Server is all the capabilities it provides. We leverage most of the features, that they have offered to us. Our vendor has made some additional features on top of the webMethods Integration Server and we use all the features together."
"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"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."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."
"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."
"Version control is not very easy. The packages and the integration server are on Eclipse IDE, but you can't compare the code from the IDE. For example, if you are working on Java code, doing version control and deployment for a quick comparison between the code isn't easy. Some tools or plug-ins are there, such as CrossVista, and you can also play with an SVN server where you have to place your package, and from there, you can check, but you have to do that as a separate exercise. You can't do it from the IDE or webMethods server. You can't just right-click and upload your service."
"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."
"Support is expensive."
"It is quite expensive."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
