Omatic Cloud vs. Oracle Data Service Integrator

ImportOmatic has been good for moving specific email groups into Luminate to create targeted emails to donors, but it has not been as easily used for our gift management processes. It has also been difficult as our IT is somewhat removed from the integration process, and makes it hard to solve problems when our IT doesn't understand our issues.

Once Oracle Data Service Integrator is set up properly, it is quite simple to snatch data from a myriad of disparate sources and put them into a single repository. Due to cost factors, it is not for the faint of heart; however, if you can handle it, the benefits will quickly outpace the initial investment. To take full advantage of the power of ODSI, I would recommend the training that Oracle provides.

Incentivized

• Provides an opportunity to easily move data from one platform to another.
• Allows you to set up profiles once and reuse them for multiple data transfers.
• Creating new features to adapt to the changing market.

Incentivized

• Very easy to use. Very easy to just grab data when needed.
• Very robust and has so many features to move and transform data.
• Functionality is very easy to implement with other Oracle data products.

Incentivized

• Being hosted in RE Dabatase View has made it difficult to manage when problems occur.
• We thought it would be easy to integrate with internal processes but has been more challenging than helpful.

Incentivized

• If not bundled with other products, the price can be prohibitively expensive
• SAP connectors tend to be a little expensive and slightly difficult to use
• The audit module had some difficulties debugging failed instances

While we tested and evaluated multiple data service providers, we came to choose Oracle Data Service Integrator since our infrastructure was so heavily dependent on Oracle software. The implementation would be easier and the difference in the number of features and performance wasn't enough to sway us in another direction.

Incentivized

• It provided terrific bulk data movement and data transformation services which we desperately needed
• It allowed to reduce development costs and lower the total cost of ownership among disparate architectures
• The enterprise edition's ELT allowed us to generate native code for wildly varied RDBMS
