Oracle Data Integration Platform Cloud (discontinued) vs. Vertify

For daily transactional information and customer data needs it has been an extremely fast and reliable system. Several thousand users are able to connect many third party tools and run a large number of extracts while still experiencing great performance. For smaller systems in use with limited user accounts this system is less appropriate due to maintenance resources required.

I would recommend it, as VertifyData exactly fit our use case. I can't speak for all use cases and all connectors - naturally - but the ones we are using and have explored so far, work perfectly well. Also, being a person myself that is not fluent in SQL or JSON or API language in general, I was still able to create all workflows our company needed myself. Which I consider a huge benefit.

• ODI uses ELT architecture, which enhances the load performance and is very scalable.
• ODI is platform independent. It supports all platforms, hardware and operating systems.
• It comes with pre-built integration, allowing immediate data replication, transformation, and data governance while ensuring data quality.

• Communication.
• Follow up.
• They're constantly trying to improve.

• Training and ramping up to learn all the Oracle specific intricacies.
• Security concerns with administering some of the tools to end users.

Incentivized

• Automated error trouble-shooting is not always clear/helpful
• Clearly distinguishing internal errors vs. external errors
• Perhaps a blog where users can interact with questions + solutions

Creating a mapping between source and target while also using lookups and transformations is not trivial. And VertifyData solved this reasonably well, at least all users in my organization understood it pretty quickly.

It is not the easiest user interface to read/understand. However, once you understand how it works, then using it is not that bad. It's hard to remember what feature is listed under what tab (Manage vs. Define). A suggestion would be to get all call to actions on the same page

We are longtime ODI on-premise users. So, it was easy for us to migrate to the ODI cloud rather than implementing another solution.

Vertify offered more flexibility and was presented as a simple solution. In reality, it is more complex that we envisioned and we have never fully utilized our tools due to the lack of ability to configure things properly.

• Ability to setup reliable disaster recovery.
• Upgrades and performance monitoring tools are readily available.

• Independently, teams are able to carry out their process with less communication and at a higher level of accuracy.
• VertifyData is actively taking into consideration, consulting, and supporting our plans to build out the business
