Facilitates complex data integration with ease and flexibility
It would be great if ODI could link the designer, mapping, and workflows in a more simplified manner, maybe in one combined interface. It would be excellent not to have to go into different areas to perform different activities but rather have a user-defined interface where we can configure a job, run it, monitor it, link packages, and link subprocesses all in one frame instead of having the designer separately, mapping separately, and monitoring and session management separately. With respect to data quality challenges, it would be great to give an option to fix data quality issues based on AI. Integrating AI with ODI that provides recommendations on how to fix those data quality issues after analyzing and profiling business data would be excellent. One of the main disadvantages of the Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that it sometimes takes a lot of resources when handling multiple jobs. The scalability and the ability to handle multiple workloads of several parallel ETL jobs could use improvement, and certain parallel threads should be added along with the ability to configure multiple jobs from the same data directory structure.

Easy matching and reconciliation of data
The initial setup was easy for the data warehousing concept. But for a person who is new to ETL and warehousing concepts, it may take some time. If someone is familiar with these concepts, they could understand and learn the tool quickly. However, compared to other tools, the UI is complex. It would be helpful to have a better UI and documentation for new users. As of now, there is a challenge in learning the Compose tool for new users altogether. Qlik Compose was deployed on-premises. But the servers, like the SQL servers were maintained on the cloud—the managed instances.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Because the code to support those columns is shared across the whole solution, we are now capable of getting the auditing information for every single piece of data in the entire solution, without having to code it individually for each stream."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition has advanced capabilities like loading slowly changing dimensions, complex data integration process flow logic, re-usable mappings and design-time automation through scripting."
"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"If you want a robust, flexible solution with no extra hardware that is easy to learn, then ODI is the right product for you."
"It is a clever integration tool to extract data from every possible source, and it can transform the source data to a format the targets can handle."
"It allows us to use many languages to develop and to integrate practically all the technologies of the Oracle suite as well as those from non-Oracle vendors."
"Rather than taking your production, or your business, and trying to make it fit a tool, you do the opposite; you make the tool fit your business."
"Qlik Compose is good enough; it is user-friendly and intuitive."
"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."
"One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions."
"It's a stable solution."
"One of the most valuable features of this tool is its automation capabilities, allowing us to design the warehouse in an automated manner. Additionally, we can generate Data Lifecycle Policies (DLP) reports and efficiently implement updates and best practices based on proven design patterns."
"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."
"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"With ODI there is a lot of manual work to be done with the initial setup."
"The interface of ODI could be improved. For example, navigating and finding functions can be difficult."
"I am personally satisfied with current version, however, I think they should be able to provide a feature where we can easily use a configuration tool for TFS, GIT etc."
"I think Oracle should add more functions to improve optimization."
"Right now, they integrate with Subversion, and in the future, there's going to be more tools implemented there for configuration management and some new features there, so right now it's kind of one of those features that has been released, but it's sort of a beta version of that feature where a lot more functionality will be coming down the line."
"Oracle support services are not up to the mark."
"I think that job scheduling can be improved."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."
"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."
"The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring."
"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."
"It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it."
"My issues with the solution's stability are owing to the fact that it has certain bugs causing issues in some functionalities that should be working."
"There could be more customization options."
"The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"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."
"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
"Being an ODI developer, I never had to pay for this product. I know that the pricing/licensing is not really low, but the product is really good."
"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."
