Technical lead at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees

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.

A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI

We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution."

"It uses the power of the database system efficiently."

"The most valuable features of ODI are the knowledge modules, such as the Loading Knowledge module and the Check Knowledge module, they are helpful. We can check for the constraints in ODI. That helps in figuring out what are the constraints that are the primary keys created in the tables. We can check them with the Check Knowledge module."

"Oracle Data Integrator offers a very good development environment and supports the use of multiple programming languages, including Python. It runs scenarios effectively, even when executing complex, long SQL scripts that are not runnable on other clients."

"Besides loading data, we do most of our transformations in ODI."

"It's scalable."

"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."

"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."

More Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pros

"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."

"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."

"The interface is really user-friendly."

"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."

"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."

"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."

"Great features available in one tool."

"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."

More Palantir Foundry pros

Cons

"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."

"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."

"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."

"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."

"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."

"ODI components may not fulfill as much as Informatica PowerCenter or IBM DataStage. The pushdown optimization is not as effective as other tools."

"Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is already good as a solution. Still, it needs some editing of its preview package, or if the package is upgraded, that will make Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) even better."

"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."

More Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) cons

"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."

"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."

"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."

"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."

"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."

"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."

"The solution’s data security could be improved."

"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."

More Palantir Foundry cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."

"The solution is very expensive."

"Per user, it is $900 USD per year, though they will give some discount. However, even a 60% to 70% of discount for each won't help us much. On top of that, there is the perpetual license you must pay at the outset."

"The Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing isn't expensive, but it's not cheap, so it's in the middle. I'd rate the pricing as three out of five."

"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."

"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."

"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."

"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."

More Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing and cost advice

"It's expensive."

"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."

"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."

"The solution’s pricing is high."

Reviews from Real Users

Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) solution.

Brian D., Business Process and Strategy Specialist Advisor at NTTData, says, “The Knowledge Module (KM) is my favorite feature of ODI. This is where I learned how to use variables to make jobs dynamic. I took that knowledge and created a KM that would go into iTunes and pull the sales of eBooks. Making something that is reusable, like a KM, is important to not only reduce build time but also maintenance in the future.”

Ashok S., Applications Support Manager at a marketing services firm, mentions, "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.
