We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), SAP Replication Server, and SSIS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The most valuable features of ODI are the knowledge modules, such as the Loading Knowledge module and the Check Knowledge module, they are helpful. We can check for the constraints in ODI. That helps in figuring out what are the constraints that are the primary keys created in the tables. We can check them with the Check Knowledge module."
"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"It's completely user-friendly."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"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."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"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."
"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to use and it offers a flexible custom script task."
"The performance is good."
"The UI is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features for our company are the flexibility and the quick turn around time in producing simple ETL solutions."
"The initial setup was easy."
"It's something I needed for bulk imports. I'm not a big fan of it, but I haven't seen anything better."
"Its compatibility with Microsoft products has been very valuable to our company. It fits well within the architecture."
"It has good data integration and good processes."
"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."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"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 stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. "
"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."
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."
"You have to write push down join & lookup SQL to the database yourself via stored procedures or use of the SQL Task to get very high performance. That said, this is a common complaint for nearly all ETL tools on the market and those that offer an alternative such as Informatica offer them at a very expensive add-on price."
"SSIS can improve by the minimum code requirements in stored procedures and exporting data is difficult. They could make it easier, it should be as easy as it is to import data."
"Options for scaling could be improved."
"This solution needs full support for real-time processing."
"I would also like to see full integration with our BI because then our full load of data will be available in our organization. They should incorporate an ATL process."
"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
