Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Integration (OIC)
OIC is being used as a replacement for our enterprise integration bus. It manages data flow between our on-premise applications and ten cloud software vendors into our data warehouse. We are currently in planning for OIC to be the external interface to pure public data feeds as well. OIC provides our organization with a data flow management platform that is scalable and robust enough for our needs with a lower learning curve than other comparable integration packages.
Pros
- Easy to learn and develop basic integrations.
- Built-in connectors for our existing suite of Oracle ERP implementations.
- Allows for our organization to have a robust environment that handles failover without the need to engineer and support a full SOA implementation.
Cons
- OIC documentation can sometimes be difficult to follow and not explain all the necessary steps in order to set up some of the more complicated integrations.
- The management interface could use some improvement, it does not recalculate statistics based on its retention period
- Scheduled integrations are limited to a 10-minute frequency.
- In being able to rapidly develop integrations we have been able to discontinue expensive outsourcing contracts.
- The secure first approach of OIC has allowed us to develop with security in mind.
OIC has allowed us to decommission our Tibco environment and migrate from outsourced integration development to in house where costs are lower and time to development has increased in some cases from months to days or weeks.
