Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Data Integrator

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.

Pros

  • 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
  • Created data warehousing for our systems
  • Ease of data management and BI reporting
  • Using data to help our customers, which in turn helps us provide better customer service
  • Integrations provide flexibility of data mining
Oracle Data Integrator works very well if the rest of your systems are in the Oracle environment. There are some other good alternatives out there, but for what Oracle Data Integrator has to offer, it is good. It is also a little harder to use compared to the other ones I have seen (like Boomi, which is very easy to use and integrated with many systems).

Would you buy Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) again?

Yes

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.
