Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The advantage of using MuleSoft as part as the Salesforce ecosystem is that anything new they build is guaranteed to work with the new features that are coming from the other side.""The product is easy to use. You don't need programming skills to use it.""The prebuilt connectors have saved our customers a lot of time and money."

More MuleSoft Composer Pros →

"The product has an ELT approach.""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.""The solution's initial setup is straightforward, especially compared to Mule, which our team has worked with before and found to be a bit more complex in terms of setup.""The Knowledge Module approach provides an easy and reusable way to create our own integration strategies. It's easy to create these Knowledge Modules to connect to new technologies, for instance.""It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases.""The most valuable features of ODI are the ease of development, you can have a template, and you can onboard transfer very quickly. There's a lot of knowledge modules available that we can use. If you want to connect, for example, a Sibyl, SQL, Oracle, or different products, we don't have to develop them from scratch. They are available, but if it's not, we can go into the marketplace and see if there's a connector there. Having the connector available reduces the amount of hard work needed. We only have to put the inputs and outputs. In some of the products, we use there is already integration available for ODI, which is helpful.""The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules.""It's scalable."

Cons
"The technical support team's response time must be improved.""MuleSoft Composer needs to improve its interface and scalability.""This solution could be improved by offering more integrations with other platforms."

More MuleSoft Composer Cons →

"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive.""We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI.""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.""The interface of ODI could be improved. For example, navigating and finding functions can be difficult. For example, you have to know which step you need to go to look at where your job status is. The logical step is a bit complex compared to other tools. It's much easier to get a graphical view, but with ODI, it's graphical, plus you have to know all the other pieces that fit around it. You have to think about the logical and physical aspects.""It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses.""Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts.""I rate it a seven out of 10 because there is room for growth because ODI is still new, in comparison to Informatica, which is a mature product.""An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Salesforce is licensed by user and by products and so pricing depending on what your requirements are."
  • "MuleSoft Composer is affordable, and I rate its pricing a five to six out of ten."
  • "The tool is a bit expensive."
  • More MuleSoft Composer Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Being an ODI developer, I never had to pay for this product. I know that the pricing/licensing is not really low, but the product is really good."
  • "We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
  • "The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
  • "ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
  • "There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
  • "Per user, it is $900 USD per year, though they will give some discount. However, even a 60% to 70% of discount for each won't help us much. On top of that, there is the perpetual license you must pay at the outset."
  • "I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
  • "The Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing isn't expensive, but it's not cheap, so it's in the middle. I'd rate the pricing as three out of five."

      Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is a data integration software solution that provides a unified infrastructure to streamline data and application integration projects. It uses a powerful design approach to data integration, which separates the declarative rules from the implementation details. The solution is based on a unique ELT (Extract Load Transform) architecture, eliminating the need for a standalone ETL server and proprietary engine. 

      Oracle Data Integrator Features

      ODI has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

      • Automatic documentation generation
      • Visualization of data flows in the interfaces
      • Customization of generated code
      • Automatic reverse-engineering of existing applications or databases
      • Graphical development and maintenance of transformation and integration interfaces
      • Robust data integrity control features, assuring the consistency and correctness of data
      • Powerful core differentiators
      • Heterogeneous ELT, declarative design and knowledge modules
      • Flexibility and modularity

      Oracle Data Integrator Benefits

      There are many benefits to implementing ODI. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

      • Efficient architecture: Oracle Data Integrator has a simple architecture that utilizes the source and target servers to perform complex transformations, making it an efficient solution.
      • Supports all platforms: ODI gives you platform independence by supporting all platforms, hardware, and OSes with the same software.
      • Cost-effective: Oracle Data Integrator reduces costs associated with initial hardware and software acquisition, and also decreases maintenance costs because it eliminates the need for an ETL Server and an ETL engine.
      • Automatic detection of faulty data: By using ODI, faulty data is recycled before insertion in the target application, providing you with a data quality firewall.
      • Easy development and maintenance: With a low learning curve, Oracle Data Integrator increases developer productivity while facilitating ongoing maintenance. 
      • Active integration: ODI includes all styles of data integration: data-based, event-based and service-based.

      Reviews from Real Users

      Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) solution.

      Brian D., Business Process and Strategy Specialist Advisor at NTTData, says, “The Knowledge Module (KM) is my favorite feature of ODI. This is where I learned how to use variables to make jobs dynamic. I took that knowledge and created a KM that would go into iTunes and pull the sales of eBooks. Making something that is reusable, like a KM, is important to not only reduce build time but also maintenance in the future.”

      Ashok S., Applications Support Manager at a marketing services firm, mentions, "The most valuable features of ODI are the ease of development, you can have a template, and you can onboard transfer very quickly. There's a lot of knowledge modules available that we can use. If you want to connect, for example, a Sibyl, SQL, Oracle, or different products, we don't have to develop them from scratch. They are available, but if it's not, we can go into the marketplace and see if there's a connector there. Having the connector available reduces the amount of hard work needed. We only have to put the inputs and outputs. In some of the products, we use there is already integration available for ODI, which is helpful."
