We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere Information Server and Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"This solution is extremely flexible and scalable."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that it integrates well with almost all technologies currently being used in my company."
"All ETL code is stored in repositories in underlying database schemas. The number of users can access and work on the same solution using a client tool. So distributed teams can work on this tool in an efficient manner."
"The installation of the client ODI Studio is easy."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"The initial setup is easy."
"ODI's most valuable features are it utilizes the database engine and is very lightweight."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing."
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
"This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."
"Their technical support needs improvement."
"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."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"If there was an add-on tool to hide the performance issues and solve them for me, then I might be interested in that as it would provide me value."
"Technical Support could be better."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
"It needs easier security."
