We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), Talend Data Management Platform, and TIBCO BusinessWorks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."It's completely user-friendly."
"ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"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."
"It allows us to use many languages to develop and to integrate practically all the technologies of the Oracle suite as well as those from non-Oracle vendors."
"The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."
"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."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."
"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten…On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the initial setup a nine."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"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."
"Technical Support could be better."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"It needs easier security."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"The technical support's turnaround time is an area where TIBCO needs to consider improvements...Getting support from TIBCO on a particular issue takes a lot of turnaround time."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"The cost has room for improvement."
"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."
"Cloud fitness is lacking"
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
