We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) and Zapier 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."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."
"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."
"It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases."
"It's scalable."
"ODI's most valuable features are it utilizes the database engine and is very lightweight."
"It's completely user-friendly."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"The product's most valuable feature is automation."
"We find it effortless to set up. We really don't have to do anything other than finding the application in the Zapier catalog. And as long as the application has been re-integrated into Zapier, they're able to then just provide the connection details and hook it up."
"Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices."
"There are a few valuable features, like the stability that it comes with and also the number of features that it offers. I've used other services like Pabbly, but they don't offer similar numbers of applications that Zapier has or allows to integrate with – it's maximum."
"Zapier handles everything under the sun that you would think you need in automation. It is the most mature integration platform and service on the market."
"The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."
"Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"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."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"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."
"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 solution lacks some functions and features."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"It is not worth the money if you have a little bit of a technical mind...Zapier is not able to set up different modules. When automation doesn't work, it's not that easy to find why it didn't work."
"I would like to see them improve the Quickbase integration. Currently, it only allows triggering actions when records are added, but it would be more useful if we could also trigger actions when records are modified or deleted."
"Some apps are not available yet. For instance, a connection with Joomla! would be great. In general, all the most-used apps are available, but I bumped into Joomla! with a client."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
"Zapier needs more YouTube or video tutorials or more training for people. That would help a lot. In particular, Zapier should have documentation for every connector. Its documentation needs to be more detailed and visual."
"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."
