"We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications."
"Technical support is good."
"App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."
"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies."
"The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification."
"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 most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"I do not have to maintain a separate ETL instance. I can change the SQL when something is not performing correctly."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"It's scalable."
"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's most valuable features are it utilizes the database engine and is very lightweight."
"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."
"It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it."
"IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find."
"The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"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."
"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."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"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."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
