We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) and SAP Data Services 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."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 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."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"ODI's most valuable features are it utilizes the database engine and is very lightweight."
"In our DW/BI solution, ODI is the main tool to integrate the data in a daily batch way."
"It's completely user-friendly."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"The feature of SAP Data Services has enhanced our company's business processes because we are able to run around 800 jobs in areas like data extraction and transaction objects."
"Its integration capabilities and the data migration capabilities are the most valuable. It is very good for SAP and non-SAP tools. It has very good integration with SAP, but it also has the capabilities to connect to other systems. We find it very helpful and stable."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"We can extract data at a table level, extract data at the ETL level, and we can extract data at an ODP level."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"It needs easier security."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"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."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"They could make it easier to work with web services."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices."
