We performed a comparison between Informatica Cloud Data Integration 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."Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"It has all the advantages of the Cloud in that you can use it without worrying about infrastructure, upkeep, or upgrades."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"The data mapping capability is a valuable feature."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"Most of the functions are very straightforward, like the data model, mapping, package, and load plan. Thus, a new user could get started very fast."
"The product has an ELT approach."
"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"The most valuable feature of ODI is the to use of the whole ETL to create a data lake."
"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"One of the standout features of ODI is its ability to prepare everything on a vertical level and create reusable components, which adds to its value."
"Integration with all systems is easy with Oracle Data Integrator, and it is easy to use. I have not used any other product, but with Oracle Data Integrator, we can easily connect to an ERP system, an SAP system, or a cloud application."
"The tool improved our data integration workflow primarily due to its compatibility with Oracle. Its integration makes it very convenient for analytics. Its most valuable feature is robust extended capability. The solution's debugging capabilities are good."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"The integration process is not easy."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"Connectivity could be improved, it can be a little slow."
"Cost-wise, it could be better."
"The interface of ODI could be improved. For example, navigating and finding functions can be difficult. For example, you have to know which step you need to go to look at where your job status is. The logical step is a bit complex compared to other tools. It's much easier to get a graphical view, but with ODI, it's graphical, plus you have to know all the other pieces that fit around it. You have to think about the logical and physical aspects."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is already good as a solution. Still, it needs some editing of its preview package, or if the package is upgraded, that will make Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) even better."
"If there was an add-on tool to hide the performance issues and solve them for me, then I might be interested in that as it would provide me value."
"It has been very good. Just recently, I've faced an issue, but I solved it somehow. While integrating with a file, I faced an issue where I wanted output files, and I had used the text field limited quotations, but at the end of the file, there was a line breakage for the last column. So, we just removed the text field because it was not working correctly for us."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"We used a third party to do the implementation of ODI."
