User Testimonials
	Oracle Data Integrator (ODI)	SolarWinds Database Mapper
Likelihood to Recommend	I tried various ETL tools and here is [where and] why I recommend Oracle Data Integrator. 1. When you want to process structured data from different databases - Teradata, Exadata, DB2, SQL, Oracle etc. 2. Oracle Data Integrator supports all platforms, hardware, and OS. This is a major advantage compared to other leading tools. 3. The ELT architecture giving a cutting edge performance over leading ETL tools. There is no need to align Oracle Data Integrator between source and target. ODI uses the source and target servers to perform complex transformations. 4. Speeds up the development and maintenance by reducing the code that developers need to write Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Converts data from various sources into one target format using various business logic rules and integrates with various DBMS types. Transformed data from DB2, SQL Server and other Oracle databases into flat files and then used ETL jobs to load into Oracle DB target Data Integrator and Goldengate were used together to accomplish the data movement needed for business and data consolidation in live environment. Data Integrator helped with development and in reducing lead time to convert data into target. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Oracle support is not the best when needing help with the system The documentation is also very poor and takes very long to generate Some parts of it are not intuitive to use and get hard to troubleshoot Like other Oracle products, you must have very, very thorough knowledge about their systems to understand Like all Oracle products, cost is high Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	It is maturing and over time will have a good pool of resources. Each new version has addressed the issues of the previous ones. Its getting better and bigger. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Talend Data Integrator has been evaluated during the setup of the architecture for a customer, in comparison to ODI, since it's an open source ETL. But, differently from the meaning of "open source", it has licence costs too that aren't that different from ODI ones. Moreover, the other components of the business intelligence architecture of the customer were Oracle, so we thought that ODI would suit at best with them, more than a different vendor software.

Return on Investment	Oracle Data Integrator helps provide a business with the data it needs to defend the decisions it makes. Oracle Data Integrator allows you to analyze data from what can be separate, different, and often outdated data sources. It allows you to make direct comparisons when analyzing data from different pieces of equipment. Data from Oracle Data Integrator was used to analyze manufacturing quality and drive down spoilage, saving the company money.
