Oracle Data Integrator provides high ROI, reducing custom ETL efforts and costs, with Cloud version enhancing implementation and efficiency.
I advocate using Glue in such cases.
 

Customer Service

ODI support gets mixed reviews; quick solo responses but struggles in multi-product setups, often leading users to forums.
AWS's documentation is reliable, and careful reference often resolves missed upgrade details.
I can get solutions quickly, and any tickets I submit to Oracle are responded to and resolved rapidly.

Oracle Data Integrator scales well, integrating with WebLogic, while configuration and setup impact its performance in various environments.
It is beneficial to upgrade jobs, and we conduct extensive testing in development before migrating to production.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score

AWS Glue is stable and integrates well, though some users seek improvements in performance with heavy workloads and specific features.
Sentiment score
7.3
Oracle Data Integrator is stable and efficient, with minor configuration challenges resolved in newer versions like 12.1.3 and 12cR2.
 

Room For Improvement

AWS Glue faces criticism for slow startup, limited language support, high cost, and complex interface, needing improved documentation and features.
ODI users seek improved performance, usability, integration, and cost-efficiency, with better error handling, authentication, and automation features.
Migrating jobs from version 3.0 to 4.0 can present compatibility issues.
With AWS, I gather data from multiple sources, clean it up, normalize it, de-duplicate it, and make it presentable.
If I use a source system like Oracle and a target system like Teradata, ODI will still run, but it struggles a bit with different infrastructures.
 

Setup Cost

AWS Glue pricing is flexible but can be costly, especially for enterprises, due to DPU usage and additional support costs.
Oracle Data Integrator has complex, costly pricing with various licensing options; discounts and packages can reduce expenses for enterprises.
AWS charges based on runtime, which can be quite pricey.
Costing depends on resource usage, and cost optimization may involve redesigning jobs for flexibility.
ODI is cheaper compared to Informatica PowerCenter and IBM DataStage.
 

Valuable Features

AWS Glue offers seamless integration, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and efficient ETL with features like data catalog, triggers, and Glue Studio.
Oracle Data Integrator features flexible, customizable integration with diverse technologies, enhancing performance and efficiency in data integration tasks.
For ETL, I feel the performance is excellent. If I create jobs in a standard way, the performance is great, and maintenance is also seamless.
I think if I'm working with big data, common languages like Python work quite nicely, which is advantageous.
Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is powerful and strong if my system uses Oracle components for environments like OLTP, enterprise data warehouse, or data marts.

Featured Reviews

Muthuvel Sivaraman - PeerSpot reviewer
Handles a huge volume of data and is serverless, but it can be considered costly by some users
We use Amazon's services to provide technical support for the product. If you want to have support, Oracle and others offer a single support, and other tools have a direct support window. For Amazon, we need to pay 10 percent of my billing amount for the tool to get support services. Whether to raise a support ticket or not is an issue since ten percent is a huge amount. My company ends up using all the options without help from support. It is very difficult for any common man to understand why there is a need to pay ten percent for support. If I find an issue in the product, and I need to get support from AWS to fix it, then I need to pay ten percent of the tool's bill amount to Amazon. AWS is a very tricky tool because everything is evolving nowadays. AWS engineers are getting hired from other places, and even after that, if I am not getting any technical support, then things will be very nasty. There are some good engineers who help users outside the normal support cycle, but it doesn't meet their needs. I rate the technical support a four out of ten.
Jagadish Sau - PeerSpot reviewer
Straightforward to implement, scalable, and has good stability and documentation, but technical support could still be improved
My company has around ten users of Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). A team of two to five people handles the deployment and maintenance of the solution. The current client of my company has this plan of moving to the cloud, with the possibility of replacing the ETL tool altogether, which could mean that more data is coming up, so there may be a plan to increase the usage of Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). My advice to others looking into implementing Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that if your database is on Oracle or SQL server, then Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is a good tool to use. My rating for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is seven out of ten.
