I tried various ETL tools and here is [where and] why I recommend Oracle Data Integrator. 1. When you want to process structured data from different databases - Teradata, Exadata, DB2, SQL, Oracle etc. 2. Oracle Data Integrator supports all platforms, hardware, and OS. This is a major advantage compared to other leading tools. 3. The ELT architecture giving a cutting edge performance over leading ETL tools. There is no need to align Oracle Data Integrator between source and target. ODI uses the source and target servers to perform complex transformations. 4. Speeds up the development and maintenance by reducing the code that developers need to write

• Processing business validations on the input data set.
• Scheduling and notification using the Admin console tool.
• Code management across group of developers.
• Simple deployment process across environment.
• Ability to deploy stand alone jobs to automate task. Integration with OS and support for variety of data bases.

Incentivized

• Converts data from various sources into one target format using various business logic rules and integrates with various DBMS types.
• Transformed data from DB2, SQL Server and other Oracle databases into flat files and then used ETL jobs to load into Oracle DB target
• Data Integrator and Goldengate were used together to accomplish the data movement needed for business and data consolidation in live environment. Data Integrator helped with development and in reducing lead time to convert data into target.

• Writing custom components is a complex process.
• Along with ETL BODI should have some data quality integration.
• Ready documentation of the code and inbuilt commenting on components.

Incentivized

• Oracle support is not the best when needing help with the system
• The documentation is also very poor and takes very long to generate
• Some parts of it are not intuitive to use and get hard to troubleshoot
• Like other Oracle products, you must have very, very thorough knowledge about their systems to understand
• Like all Oracle products, cost is high

It is maturing and over time will have a good pool of resources. Each new version has addressed the issues of the previous ones. Its getting better and bigger.

It is a good ETL tool to use if you are SAP shop and looking for a simple and elegant solution for automation.

Talend Data Integrator has been evaluated during the setup of the architecture for a customer, in comparison to ODI, since it's an open source ETL. But, differently from the meaning of "open source", it has licence costs too that aren't that different from ODI ones. Moreover, the other components of the business intelligence architecture of the customer were Oracle, so we thought that ODI would suit at best with them, more than a different vendor software.

• It was a packaged purchase of BO toolset including BOXI and BODI.
• Optimized performance for integrating different data sources.
• Simple and easy setup and maintenance cost.

• Oracle Data Integrator helps provide a business with the data it needs to defend the decisions it makes.
• Oracle Data Integrator allows you to analyze data from what can be separate, different, and often outdated data sources. It allows you to make direct comparisons when analyzing data from different pieces of equipment.
• Data from Oracle Data Integrator was used to analyze manufacturing quality and drive down spoilage, saving the company money.
