Accessible from anywhere and easy to learn even for non-technical users, but needs more connectors and faster issue resolution from technical support

What could be improved or added to IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is more connectors. This solution comes in a package with IBM InfoSphere DataStage and is missing a lot of connectors to various, new data sources, so IBM needs to work on that area. Compared with competitors such as Informatica and Alation which acquired other small companies to work on the connectors, IBM has not done any testing and has tried to develop the connectors in-house, but that's taking a lot of time. As a result, my company is unable to connect to a lot of data sources, particularly modern data sources.

"My advice to others who want to start using IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is that it's a very good product because it has a lot of handy features, and it's a product that's easier to learn and that even non-technical people can use it."

"You can also schedule and run data quality on the critical data elements on the databases."

"Information Analyzer is still a good product."

"For basic Business Rule Creation to cleanse Legacy data, it worked as intended."

"This tool would be very beneficial if used before a data migration or BI project as an initial phase to know the data exactly, and to figure out all data possible scenarios which we might face."

"What's most useful in IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is you can access it from anywhere. It's also pretty easy to learn, so even non-technical business people use it and found the solution easy to learn."

Cons

"I use another program for deduping files. I am not comfortable with the way BCC deduping runs when deduping by full name and address."

"As of v9.1, the troubleshooting process is still painful."

"Customer Service: AverageTechnical Support: Not good"

"Stopped using it. Took a loss."

"What could be improved or added to IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is more connectors. This solution comes in a package with IBM InfoSphere DataStage and is missing a lot of connectors to various, new data sources, so IBM needs to work on that area. Compared with competitors such as Informatica and Alation which acquired other small companies to work on the connectors, IBM has not done any testing and has tried to develop the connectors in-house, but that's taking a lot of time. As a result, my company is unable to connect to a lot of data sources, particularly modern data sources."

"The solution is outdated and is not on cloud."

"IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer, particularly its latest version, has some stability issues. My company faced some serious issues with stability and had to repeatedly go to IBM to have the issues fixed."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"For the licensing cost of IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer, I have no information on the exact cost, but as it's bundled with other IBM products such as IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog and IBM InfoSphere DataStage, the bundle is expensive when compared to competitor pricing."
