We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), TIBCO BusinessWorks, and Workato based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"Oracle provides great documentation."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"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."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"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."
"The stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. "
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"It needs easier security."
"It has been very good. Just recently, I've faced an issue, but I solved it somehow. While integrating with a file, I faced an issue where I wanted output files, and I had used the text field limited quotations, but at the end of the file, there was a line breakage for the last column. So, we just removed the text field because it was not working correctly for us."
"Technical Support could be better."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"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."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
