Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, MuleSoft, IBM and others in Business-to-Business Middleware."I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"BIzTalk's integration with Visual Studio is the most valuable feature of this product."
"The most valuable feature of BizTalk Server is that it will turn XML into flexible transactions."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good."
"Essentially, you can do whatever you like with these systems, and you do not have to take care about the scaling because if one server is overloaded, it just forwards the message to the next server, even if it were designated to a specific server. It weeds out the messages according to the load. If you want to scale it, you just add new servers."
"One of the standout features of ODI is its ability to prepare everything on a vertical level and create reusable components, which adds to its value."
"The product has an ELT approach."
"The most valuable features of ODI are the knowledge modules, such as the Loading Knowledge module and the Check Knowledge module, they are helpful. We can check for the constraints in ODI. That helps in figuring out what are the constraints that are the primary keys created in the tables. We can check them with the Check Knowledge module."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"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."
"BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"The product's deployment can be quicker"
"It's a complex product because you have many degrees of freedom to connect different parts together. Whether it's sensible or not, is up to you, but the machine does allow it. But because of the vast degrees of freedom, it's complex."
"BizTalk is in the past, Microsoft is not going to evolve it any further or add any new features."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is real-time integration. Currently, my company has a workaround to implement real-time integration, an area on which Oracle must focus more. Real-time integration should be easier in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). Another area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is integration with more publishers and subscribers rather than just database integrations."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"In our company, we haven't tried consuming services from IoT in our company yet, and I would like to know if the solution will support IoT services in the next release."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
"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."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
