Brian Dandeneau
Business Process and Strategy Specialist Advisor at NTTData
I have used it to improve run-times of many corporations' overall integration run-times.
What other advice do I have?
Know what you are getting into. If you are going to use a firm to build out a solution, ask for a Proof of Concept and ask them to show you how flexible it can be. If they can't quickly come up with something, be wary. Don't just go with someone that is cheap, you get what you pay for. This snapshot is to turn on automapping. This is a very useful function to have on when developing. This will make the magic happen when you connect a source and a target together. This is not in the documentation, so good luck finding how to turn it on if you haven't used it before.
Ricardo Giampaoli
EPM/BI certified Consultant, Oracle ACE and TeraCorp Consulting CEO at TeraCorp Consulting
We can make all the EPM tools work together as one and we can create a puzzle that will increase the performance and capability of all EPM tools.
What is our primary use case?
Very large and complexes environments implementation, 10000+ users with 24x7 global operation and multiple EPM tools working in sync.What other advice do I have?
Because Oracle products are development frameworks, your final results are as good as the people that implemented it. Make sure that your implementation team is the best it could be, at least for the first implementation. If something is implemented incorrectly at the start, it'll cost you a lot more to fix than to build a new system from scratch. Sometimes it can be so badly designed that it is impossible to fix. I've been working on implementations for 21 years and I have seen bad implementations everywhere. In fact, I have seen the same tools implemented in the same team by two different…

Alan Yves
Big Data / Business Intelligence / Datawarehousing at DWgrain (Client Health BIS)
All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration.
What is our primary use case?
Several projects benefited from the ODI data integration capabilities such as Loading OLTP system's data to Data warehouses, pulling data from cloud-based databases and loading to on-premises DW, for example: extracting data from a SQL server which is based on Azure infrastructure. Perform data integration from cloud to cloud. Data migration between OLTP systems. Event-based integration such SOA, for example, BPEL performed calls of ODI scenarios based on EBS events.Pros and Cons
- "All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
- "It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
What other advice do I have?
The setup of the environment requires experts on site, but it is very worth it since at first for customers it can be quite complex. The vendor needs to enable the customer on a frequent basis during implementation, but the results are great.
Muhammad Arif Javed
Senior Manager Software Development at Techlogix
Has a good declarative design and client-server architecture model
What is our primary use case?
We have been using Oracle Data Integrator for populating Financial Services Data Warehouse. Data extraction is done into a staging area from different source systems and then this data is validated and certain quality checks have been performed here. We used Oracle Data Integrator data quality checks builtin capability to perform these different data quality checks. Then data is consolidated and transformed into the staging area and finally gets landed into the data warehouse. I also used this for generating data hand-offs for other applications.Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "There are certain things where it can be improved. Initial solution setup seems a bit complex at the start, it should be improved because it becomes bit tough for a novice to get started on this. Sometimes error description is not helpful to understand the problem it gives some generic type of errors which are at times not that helpful to understand the underlying root cause of the issue."
What other advice do I have?
I think different tools have their own pros and cons, so it all depends on your overall needs.
Rodrigo Radtke De Souza
Solutions Architect at a tech consulting company with 51-200 employees
If it doesn't connect out-of-the-box to a specific technology, we can add a new technology into it.
What is our primary use case?
We mainly use ODI to integrate all of our EPM applications, which includes Essbase ASO/BSO cubes, Hyperion Planning, DRM and HFM applications. Also it is used to manage a custom data warehouse developed in Oracle DB which is used as source for OBIEE reporting.
Mohamed Ahmed Fouad
Banking Excellence - Predictive Analysis at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Easy to set up with good integrations and great scalability
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for digital health and sometimes automation tasks.Pros and Cons
- "The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."
- "The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
What other advice do I have?
We're simply an Oracle customer. We don't have a business relationship with the company. There's no specific version of the solution that we use. I wouldn't recommend any other services above Oracle. Overall, I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

What is our primary use case?
To have a common ETL tool in the DW team, start a common way of ETL development, set up a process registry, and daily process flow.How has it helped my organization?

Reusing existing ETL development pattern in the next similar tasks. It's flexible to add new common procedures. Knowledge modules can be modified to fix small issues.What needs improvement?
ETL process registry solution is missing. To manage dependencies between loading packages. Versioning logic and release process are not well supported.For how long have I used the solution?
