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."One of the standout features of ODI is its ability to prepare everything on a vertical level and create reusable components, which adds to its value."
"It's scalable."
"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 is Data movement."
"Oracle provides great documentation."
"ODI is a very accessible tool, especially since the mapping functionality has been added."
"The installation of the client ODI Studio is easy."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"ODI could improve by focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"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."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"It needs easier security."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
