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.

Has robust data governance capabilities and efficient financial alerting features
The platform's robust data governance capabilities ensure strong compliance with regulatory standards. Our dedicated data governance team is responsible for setting policies and monitoring data access and usage. Additionally, we have a Data Protection Officer (DPO) and an independent InfoSec team that work together to enforce these policies. This multi-layered approach ensures that data governance is effectively managed and compliant with all necessary regulations. It is integrated with SQL and Power BI servers for executive management dashboard reporting. This integration supports comprehensive data analysis and reporting needs, which was a key factor in our decision. The value of using vCenter lies in its comprehensive data infrastructure management. It significantly enhances our reporting, day-to-day decision-making, and analytics capabilities. Integrating SaaS with vCenter adds value by streamlining key functions and improving overall organizational efficiency. The solution can be considered expensive, particularly due to infrastructure, maintenance, and ownership costs. The long-term savings and efficiencies gained from using vCenter can justify the investment for large organizations. However, the high costs might not be justifiable for smaller organizations with less data and fewer resources. Conducting a thorough cost-benefit analysis based on the organization's specific needs and scale is recommended. I rate it an eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is easy."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"Oracle provides great documentation."
"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."
"Integration with all systems is easy with Oracle Data Integrator, and it is easy to use. I have not used any other product, but with Oracle Data Integrator, we can easily connect to an ERP system, an SAP system, or a cloud application."
"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features."
"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."
"The platform's robust data governance capabilities ensure strong compliance with regulatory standards."
"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
 

Cons

"It has been very good. Just recently, I've faced an issue, but I solved it somehow. While integrating with a file, I faced an issue where I wanted output files, and I had used the text field limited quotations, but at the end of the file, there was a line breakage for the last column. So, we just removed the text field because it was not working correctly for us."
"Technical Support could be better."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"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."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"The Oracle Data Integrator interface is extremely slow, especially when using remote desktop connections."
"ODI could improve by focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"Integration and cloud migration are areas where we see potential for improvement."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"The solution could use better documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"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."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"I have yet to determine the exact figure for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing, but it has lower pricing than Informatica."
"The solution is very expensive."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the platform pricing as five out of ten."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"While it is even free for personal use on the cloud, it can be expensive for desktop installations and enterprise use."
"The solution is expensive."
"The licensing model for vCenter is a perpetual license with yearly payments."
