We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), TIBCO BusinessWorks, and Unifi based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"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 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 initial setup is easy."
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"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."
"ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"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."
"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."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"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."
"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)."
"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."
"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."
"The cost has room for improvement."
"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
