We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) and webMethods Integration Server 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 installation of the client ODI Studio is easy."
"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."
"It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."
"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."
"The product is very stable."
"The solution has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas."
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"The Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"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."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"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 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."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system. However, that's one area where they can improve."
"I would like to see the price improve."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"I'd like to see the admin portal for managing the integration server go up a level, to have more capabilities and to be given a more modern web interface."
"We'd like for them to open up to a more cloud-based solution that could offer more flexibility and maybe a better rules engine or more integration with rules engines."
