We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"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."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"I like that Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) has a straightforward setup and offers good technical support."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It has the ability to easily load slowly changing dimensions."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"What I have found the most valuable about GoldenGate is that it does real-time and no-downtime migrations. Its migrations are fast. There are not many tools like it on the marketplace."
"The solution is useful for data transformation."
"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"With Oracle GoldenGate, you can easily sync the tables and put them into the ODS database."
"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"You can use Oracle GoldenGate as a DR for your system."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
"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."
"There are certain things where it can be improved. Initial solution setup seems a bit complex at the start, it should be improved because it becomes bit tough for a novice to get started on this. Sometimes error description is not helpful to understand the problem it gives some generic type of errors which are at times not that helpful to understand the underlying root cause of the issue."
"The stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. "
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is real-time integration. Currently, my company has a workaround to implement real-time integration, an area on which Oracle must focus more. Real-time integration should be easier in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). Another area for improvement in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is integration with more publishers and subscribers rather than just database integrations."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"Monitoring must be a bit more enhanced."
"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"Regarding improvements, the focus should be on addressing data quality issues and minimizing delays, particularly in Oracle databases. The technical support should be improved as well. Additionally, in terms of features, it would be great if the solution could support APIs. The support is not friendly. They don’t respond on time."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is ranked 4th in Data Integration with 68 reviews while Oracle GoldenGate is ranked 6th in Data Integration with 48 reviews. Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is rated 8.2, while Oracle GoldenGate is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) writes "Straightforward to implement, scalable, and has good stability and documentation, but technical support could still be improved". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Oracle GoldenGate writes "Performs real-time replication without data loss, but we cannot do much automation". Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is most compared with Oracle Integration Cloud Service, Informatica PowerCenter, SSIS, Azure Data Factory and Talend Open Studio, whereas Oracle GoldenGate is most compared with AWS Database Migration Service, Qlik Replicate, Quest SharePlex, Azure Data Factory and Fivetran.

There are two products I know about
* TimeXtender : Microsoft based, Transformation logic is quiet good and can easily be extended with T-SQL , Has a semantic layer that generates metat data for cubes . price approx 40K$, works with tables
. Attunity (Bought by Qlik) : technology agnostic , nice web interface , expensive > 100K€. Works with transaction logs
There are many other pure ETL tools
* ERWIN has a nice one ,
Depends upon the technologies being used. If you're using Oracle for both OLTP and OLAP then you'll get a lot of value from an Oracle solution.
The other question is how up to date do you want your OLAP DB to be? Goldengate is a good answer if you're looking to minimize latency, but it can be expensive. ODI is less expensive but better suited to bulkier data sets. If an Oracle product wasn't the option I'd probably consider something like Informatica.

As someone mentioned, if you're purely Oracle shop and staying that way then there's value with prioritizing Oracle tools. However, let me contrast that with this caveat...
Consider expectations for tool and vendor longevity. Oracle has a long history of retiring and/or replacing tools leaving customers in the cold with prior versions/tools (I've been burned multiple times by Oracle product retirements or replacements including OWB, Oracle Designer2k, Oracle Express, Oracle OEDW, their purchase of Sagent ETL which as later abandoned).
But I would also consider these questions and relative prioritization:
What is your organization's plans for moving to other database technologies?
Where is your org going with on-prem versus cloud solutions? How important are PaaS versus IaaS solutions?
Where is your current staff's expertise?
Prioritize mature over immature tools.
How many sources do you have? What are their technologies and does the integration tool support them?
Is it just moving data from a single ERP such as Oracle EBS to Olap? When you say Olap what do you mean by that? Are you talking Oracle Olap product or something else? That makes a really big difference of course - if your ETL tool doesn't support your source(s) and target(s) then it shouldn't be considered.
Given the industry's trajectory, I myself would highly prioritize PaaS solutions over others.
What is the OLAP that you are using? Hosted in Cloud or on-premise?
The target DB should have its tool to extract data.
Pentaho is a really nice tool if opensource is the only option.
Please think about issues such as upgrade and disaster in the future. These operations are very easy in Pentaho.
I can only suggest one thing for replication and that is Qlik. (ex-Attunity).
Hi Karoly, Thanks for your input. community: forums.pentaho.com is not allowing new registrations for new users. I guess they accept queries from customers only and not from any one. Do you know any other forum, community, SMEs contacts who can help on queries?
