We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect and Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has an efficient design flow."
"App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification."
"It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"It allows us to use many languages to develop and to integrate practically all the technologies of the Oracle suite as well as those from non-Oracle vendors."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"The most valuable features of ODI are the ease of development, you can have a template, and you can onboard transfer very quickly. There's a lot of knowledge modules available that we can use. If you want to connect, for example, a Sibyl, SQL, Oracle, or different products, we don't have to develop them from scratch. They are available, but if it's not, we can go into the marketplace and see if there's a connector there. Having the connector available reduces the amount of hard work needed. We only have to put the inputs and outputs. In some of the products, we use there is already integration available for ODI, which is helpful."
"It's completely user-friendly."
"The product has an ELT approach."
"The installation of the client ODI Studio is easy."
"One more important point is that if IBM improves its CI/CD capabilities, it will make a big difference. Right now, I have to create my own CI/CD setup from scratch for every client, which is inefficient."
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"The user interface of IBM App Connect can be a little bit more user-friendly, I would say because the first-time developer is onboarded while using IBM App Connect, he or she may get a little intimidated or daunted looking at all the options available or the pipelines, et cetera."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"IBM App Connect is scalable. From the administration side, they need to improve the RBAC model, as well as the clustering of this product. It will be good if we can start up the cluster, via IBM Connect Console. Some other products like MuleSoft, are providing this type of administration. MuleSoft is easy to use and user friendly."
"The interface could be better."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"The tool should improve its pricing. It prevents the application of Oracle ODI on small and medium projects in countries like Croatia, Germany, or the US. While there are no technological obstacles to using it, the high price makes it unfeasible for projects with smaller budgets."
"The stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. "
"In our company, we haven't tried consuming services from IoT in our company yet, and I would like to know if the solution will support IoT services in the next release."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"I rate it a seven out of 10 because there is room for growth because ODI is still new, in comparison to Informatica, which is a mature product."
"Technical Support could be better."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
