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.

Lightweight tool, ensures that data is replicated across different systems and simplify complex tasks such as defining relationships
Qlik Compose is something that will automate user's overall data modernization. Here data modernization includes data modeling, ETL jobs, etc. But the advantage is users can automate the overall process of data engineering and data modeling through Qlik Compose. I think that's useful when users are able to manage 60% of the workload automated. That will be very useful. That's fantastic. Replicate does not have a great AI capability. AI capabilities are present in Qlik Sense. Qlik Replicate is a very light tool. It is only meant to capture data from the log files, get the data, and transfer it, read that table structure, create the table structure, and transfer the data whenever there is a change. So, it basically integrates with the kernel of the operating system. The way it works is that these replicate tools will integrate with the kernel of the operating system, and they will access the redo log files of the database. The redo log should have access to all the files of the structure of the schema, too. So, using that technique, they redo all the data structures, create a similar structure, and replicate the structure in the target schema, table, and database. After that is done, it will start tracing the instances that are happening. For example, if data is inserted into the table, then an insert is fired on the statement on the table. So, that particular insert is captured. And based on that insert statement, it will pull the SQL query and say, "Okay, there is an insert. I need to get that data." It will get the data from the redo log itself rather than going to a database. Then, it will just pass that transaction into the target system, where it will just insert the data. And this happens instantaneously, within a microsecond. So, if there is an insert, an update, or a delete, everything is transferred immediately. It is picked from the redo log because it comes to the redo log, and then the redo log sends it to Qlik Replicate and Replicate to the target system on which Replicate is installed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's completely user-friendly."
"Most of the functions are very straightforward, like the data model, mapping, package, and load plan. Thus, a new user could get started very fast."
"ODI's most valuable features are it utilizes the database engine and is very lightweight."
"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."
"​All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"Support has been great."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Replicate are its CDC performance and trigger functions. CDC feature is important to the financial industry."
"The main valuable feature is its real-time change data capture (CDC) capabilities, which process data with minimal latency. There is not much delay. It also performs well with batch-wise data applications."
"It enables us to transform data at the latest stage rather than in ETL loads, so it's more ELT which is one of the advantages. It is also in near real-time, which brings significant advantage for our embedded analytics approach."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"Qlik Replicate stands out with its cutting-edge technology and its ability to handle diverse data management tasks. This powerful tool allows us to efficiently and swiftly load data into various data stores or destinations, while also enabling easy distribution across different endpoints. A notable feature is its capability to reload data from multiple sources by creating multiple tasks within a brief timeframe of fifteen to twenty minutes. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and ensures quick data loading from different tables."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"ODI could improve by focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"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."
"There could be better compatibility with other ETL tools and cloud platforms."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"The product should improve its licensing limitation."
"When you remote into it the Qlik Replicate UI a lot of times it just freezes. We set up the EC2, to allow them to go to the server and click on the Replicate icon, it just opens up and just sits there. At that point, we have to go into the EC2 and then reboot the server. This should be fixed, it is frustrating."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
 

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."
"The solution is expensive because of the model they use. The cost is for the license and for support."
"The solution is very expensive."
"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"Qlik Replicate is not expensive, compared to GoldenGate."
"Unlike Azure, where you pay based on consumption, Qlik Replicate seems to charge per endpoint."
"Pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
"Qlik Replicate is mainly suited for large companies. However, it is too costly for small businesses. Its pricing is high."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Qlik Replicate's pricing a nine out of ten."
"Overall, Qlik is an expensive solution. You need to pay for all additional features that you would like to use."
