"It is a scalable solution.""The initial setup is easy.""OIC's accuracy is quite good.""The most valuable feature is the ease of customization.""In general, there were a lot of great utilities for working with files.""The most valuable feature of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is its ease of use.

Cons
"I would like the stability to improve.""The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue.""Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time.""Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important.""V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working.""Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks.""The major shortcoming of PowerExchange is high availability and failover. None of the versions we've used to date have had the out-of-the-box ability to enable failover and high-availability requirements. This is a significant challenge and risk.""The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Informatica PowerExchange Cons →

"Oracle Integration Cloud Service can improve the downloading and uploading of files. I've submitted this issue to the Oracle Idea Labs. The issue is from the front end of Oracle Integration Cloud, we cannot download or upload a file directly or drag and drop it.""We would love to have more and more ready-to-use interfaces from Oracle.""Sometimes, the tech support is slow to get back to us. We have had to wait up to two weeks for a response.""The bulk processing needs improvement.""Configurable timeouts on each connection would be good.""They should provide tutorials for beginners to learn about the processes.""It would be helpful if there were more tutorials or documentation to learn about Oracle Integration Cloud Service.""While most of the adapters are available through Oracle Integration Cloud Services, they do not have a lot of features. I would like to see some enrichment in this area and for the solution to go deeper into the applications and upgrade the adapters."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Oracle Integration Cloud Service is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it has good adapters, is user friendly, and produces a solid ROI.

    Rishabh S., Business and Technology Delivery Associate Manager at Accenture, says, “It has good performance, easy integration, is user-friendly, and also has helpful technical support. The dashboard provided by Oracle Integration Cloud for monitoring and error handling is very intuitive. You do not need a third-party dashboard or logging framework when you initiate the integration. There are a lot of adapters, which is what I like the most.”

    “The most valuable features of this solution are the SFTP adapters, file adapters, and risk adapters, that we use in everyday projects,” says PeerSpot user Arun N., Technical Manager at a financial services firm.

    Kanhaiya C., Solution Architect at Tata Consultancy, explains, "Oracle Integration Cloud Service is a really good product and the ROI is very good with it. It lowers development time. A development cycle that may have taken a year without Oracle Integration Cloud Service can drop down to three or four months with it."
