Oracle Data Integrator and SAP Data Services both offer data integration services. We compare the features of the two products to understand how effective they are as a data integration tool.

Oracle Data Integrator

Oracle Data Integrator provides a data integration platform that handles high-performance batch load, high volume, service-oriented architecture (SOA) enabled data services, event-driven trickle-feed integration processes and more data integration requirements. It offers on-premise and cloud services and provides unique extraction, load and conversion technologies that reduce data integration costs and increase performance, even on different systems.

ELT architecture for high performance

The extract, load, and transform architectures of the enterprise version of Oracle Data Integrator are used by different Big Data Engine or Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) to convert and process data. This results in enhanced performance and optimized scalability with less general cost. The ELT architecture of this data integration tool is a conventional extract, generating native code for unequally large data engines such as SQL, PySpark, Pig Latin or HiveQL and RDBMS to avoid reliance on conversion load servers.

Heterogeneous system support

With Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition, users enjoy a wide variety of support for third-party platforms, data sources and data warehousing applications. This data integration tool provides optimization for Oracle databases to perform ELT data transformation, movement, and data quality and standardization tasks. The Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition has also been extensively optimized for mixed technologies such as targets, applications and sources.

An example of a high-productivity designer for data integration

To enhance user productivity and user experience, Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition has created a declarative flow-based user interface that combines simplicity and ease of use with the expandability and flexibility of configurable streams. This combination simplifies the standard data integration design and installation instances and shortens the implementation time. This allows users or developers to focus on describing what to do as opposed to how to do it. Data integration tools can reuse mapping logic during development to make it easier for developers to create solutions.

Knowledge module for flexibility and extensibility

The architecture of Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition includes knowledge modules that make Oracle Data Integrator processes flexible, extensible and modular. Knowledge modules drive data flow and specify templates for generating code on many systems involved in each data integration process. Oracle’s Data Integration Solution provides an extensive library of knowledge modules that can be customized to implement current best practices, such as the use of differentiation systems and methods for optimal performance.

Choosing the right tool

Since the two tools share the most important data integration features, your choice may be influenced by the scope of your field of use. Are the integration features enough, or do you need a single solution that offers so much more than integration? Another reason to consider is the price because the cost-effective tool is certainly an advantage. Demos are also a plus because you can test a tool and gauge factor such as ease of use and ease of setup.
