I think that Oracle Data Integrator is effective in terms of keeping a database of financial information and it is also helpful since it connects with financial tools such as Hyperion. I utilize Hyperion to pull data from Oracle Data Integrator and use that as a leverage to build a company's financial projections. However, I think one big issue is that it can be quite slow during busy times. I think speed is one of the most essential things for the monthly close process.
  • They connect to financial tools such as Hyperion.
  • Holds financial data very well and easily retrieved when needed.
  • All the support teams are very helpful and there when you need them
Cons
  • Speed can sometimes be very slow.
  • You need many technical support individuals to maintain.
  • N/A
Oracle Data Integrator is a great tool to use when you do detailed financial planning and analysis. You can create multiple scenarios. For example, you can create best case, reasonable case, and worst case scenarios on Hyperion and use that to understand different scenarios in order to hedge for risk in your forecast.

Oracle Data Integrator--a great tool for Oracle users

Oracle Data Integrator is a very good ETL tool that can be used for many different business cases. We currently use it as an ETL application that ties into many of our backend systems. It helps us connect with many systems with the great integrations it has and gives us the ability to closely tie our data together. We use this for our data teams currently which then gets used for reports, etc. to make workflow and processes more streamlined.
  • It is well integrated within the Oracle ecosystem
  • Great product for data cleansing and virtualization
  • Can have everything done in one tool in most cases
  • It has great scalability/performance
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
Oracle Data Integrator is best used for data warehousing, master data management, data migration, big data integration, and application integration. If you have an environment that is in the Oracle platform, this tool also works great with it. We have been using it as an ETL tool to get data from the different Oracle systems we have, and it works great. However, it does not work great with different environments if you have multiple types of systems. You will find yourself buying more than one application to satisfy your needs.

Oracle Data Integrator was used to pull the Oracle BPM data into data mart. It was being used across the whole organization. It pulled the data from various sources and pushed it to a single source with very complex transformations. Master and incremental data was being loaded into the data warehouse.
  • Incremental data loads
  • Complex Transformations
  • Detailed documentation of LKM/IKM
  • Troubleshooting of failed jobs
Cons
  • More user friendly interface
  • Hierarchy flattening transformations
  • Integration issues with SAP HANA
For simple transformation and small business it is very good ELT tool but if you look for the big business and the complex transformation it has gaps to fill for example Hierarchy flattening jobs or multi language translation jobs etc. will make this tool good to use in big organizations.

An Amazing ETL Tool!

As a number of our back end databases are Oracle based, so an ETL tool was required to handle all the data pipelining. Earlier it was being done through PL/SQL which was bit complex to learn for everyone. So it was decided to use Oracle Data Integrator as a formal ETL Tool. This is being used in specific departments as of now. This is an amazing tool to implement different transformation logics in an easier way and is quite efficient in handling the data which ends up in saving user's time.
  • It is very easy to integrate with Oracle data sources at backend.
  • Plenty of transformation options and reverse engineering is bit easier.
  • The interface is very simple and user friendly.
Cons
  • Real time integration is bit of a hassle.
  • Customer Support could be improved to some extent.
  • Data ingestion with variety of data sources could be difficult to implement.
This is an amazing ETL Tool if you have multiple Oracle source databases. But could be hassle if there are multiple other data sources as it's bit complicated to integrate with them. Overall this is a tool that will optimize and facilitate the integration of data in a fairly simple and integrated way.

Oracle Data Integrator (ODI)is a powerful ETL tool. We use this across the organization to integrate data from various sources (mainly Peoplesoft) and load the processed data into Oracle Data Warehouse. The Data Warehouse loaded by ODI acts as a single source of truth for every department within the organization. All the department's raw data is pulled by ODI and processed before loading into Data Warehouse. Though this is a backend tool, which many front end users are not aware of its existence, it does a great job integrating data from different sources.
  • Oracle Data Integrator nearly addresses every data issue that one can expect. Oracle Data Integrator is tightly integrated to the Oracle Suite of products. This is one of the major strengths of Oracle Data Integrator. Oracle Data Integrator is part of the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Suite - which is highly used by various industries. This tool replaced Informatica ETL in Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Suite.
  • Oracle Data Integrator comes with many pre-written data packages. If one has to load data from Excel to Oracle Database, there is a package that is ready available for them - cutting down lot of effort on writing the code. Similarly, there are packages for Oracle to SQL, SQL to Oracle and all other possible combinations. Developers love this feature.
  • Oracle Data Integrator relies highly on the database for processing. This is actually an ELT tool rather than an ETL tool. It first loads all the data into target instance and then transforms it at the expense of database resources. This light footprint makes this tool very special.
  • The other major advantage of Oracle Data Integrator, like any other Oracle products, is a readily available developer pool. As all Oracle products are free to download for demo environments, many organizations prefer to play around with a product before purchasing it. Also, Oracle support and community is a big advantage compared to other vendors.
Cons
  • The Java framework does not stand up to the mark. It crashes frequently. There is a long [list] of improvements required in terms of client tools framework.
  • Though Oracle Data Integrator lets people login from a web browser to monitor different activities, it crashes and performs very poorly when logged in out of network. Even Oracle Data Integrator client tools don't perform well on a remote desktop. Increasing Java buffer is one of the workarounds, that might work. So, a better client tools and interface is a big advantage.
  • Navigation is another pain area. It is very difficult to find out the precise error, in case of a failure, in Oracle Data Integrator. In Informatica, it is a cake walk to pull out a session log that shows up the exact reason for failure. Although Oracle Data Integrator is tightly integrated to database, it is very poor in providing the exact error at high level. One has to dig through to get it.
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.
