Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The product is robust."
"The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution."
"IBM B2B Integrator is a great tool, robust, reliable, low-maintenance, and ideal solution."
"The solution offers good integration capabilities."
"The technical support on offer through the portal is very helpful and responsive."
"The best feature is that many companies use the solution so there is a lot of peer support."
"B2B Integrator is multi-platform, so it can be integrated with Windows, Unix, or whatever, and it can work with almost all programming languages. It can also transfer a lot of data in a short time. For instance, a system I recently implemented exchanges about 20 million files a day."
"It can scale horizontally as well as vertically as a cluster."
"Very flexible product; it allows implementing different flows on the same infrastructure."
"B2B provides a secure communication channel."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"In our DW/BI solution, ODI is the main tool to integrate the data in a daily batch way."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"All ETL code is stored in repositories in underlying database schemas. The number of users can access and work on the same solution using a client tool. So distributed teams can work on this tool in an efficient manner."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"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."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."
"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished."
"The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises."
"The one thing that is lacking is easy visibility. It's hard to provide business users with a view into the statuses of their transactions."
"API-Fication required, and there should be more clarity on their cloud migration strategy."
"The initial setup is complex."
"They do not have a solid partner ecosystem, and they do not have a clear roadmap for down the line; they're missing that clear roadmap."
"There are also some features in the solution that are not user-friendly, like code lists with no search options. So, we must navigate hundreds of pages to check for one entry."
"The reporting features could be better. right now, they are lacking a bit."
"IBM B2B Integrator could improve the business process itself, there is no resignation of duties and in terms of the console should be changed in a way that is more user-friendly."
"There is no related transaction stored in the database because it's an OLTP application."
"The stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. "
"If there was an add-on tool to hide the performance issues and solve them for me, then I might be interested in that as it would provide me value."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"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 price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
