Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration.
"In our DW/BI solution, ODI is the main tool to integrate the data in a daily batch way."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"The tool improved our data integration workflow primarily due to its compatibility with Oracle. Its integration makes it very convenient for analytics. Its most valuable feature is robust extended capability. The solution's debugging capabilities are good."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"A very user friendly solution."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"Technical Support could be better."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"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."
"The tool should improve its pricing. It prevents the application of Oracle ODI on small and medium projects in countries like Croatia, Germany, or the US. While there are no technological obstacles to using it, the high price makes it unfeasible for projects with smaller budgets."
"Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is already good as a solution. Still, it needs some editing of its preview package, or if the package is upgraded, that will make Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) even better."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"The solution needs more integrations."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"The security features could be improved."
"Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
