This is very easy to integrate with Oracle data sources and as most of my databases are in oracle so I gave preference to this tool.

I have used Trifacta Google Data Prep quite a bit. We use Google Cloud Platform across our organization. The tools are very comparable in what they offer. I would say Data Prep has a slight edge in usability and a cleaner UI, but both of the tools have comparable toolsets.

Oracle Data Integrator works very well if the rest of your systems are in the Oracle environment. There are some other good alternatives out there, but for what Oracle Data Integrator has to offer, it is good. It is also a little harder to use compared to the other ones I have …

We were using Actian Pervasive before switching to Oracle and the main reason was the cost. We were getting less functionality at even more cost. Although it is much faster in terms of operation, Oracle makes it easy to connect to all data sources making data integration easier …

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, …

ODI is the naturel successor of OWB, adopting the same EL-T approach but supporting a lot more technologies as source and target. The overall product is much more stable and not tied to the Oracle database.
Unlike Informatica, ODI generates all the code in the native underlying …

We migrated to ODI from OWB - and we found ODI to be light years ahead of OWB (features, performance, and connectivity). We also looked at Informatica, but were turned down by its cost. Being a SAP Business Objects shop, we also considered the SAP Data Integrator tool (it …

Oracle's own ETL tool was Oracle Warehouse Builder, initially. When Oracle built the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Suite, Oracle is in need of a strong ETL. As Oracle Warehouse Builder is not a strong ETL that customers prefer and as already Informatica captured …

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

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.
