Centralized monitoring has improved data quality and now keeps daily reporting reliable
What I like most about Decube are the data quality monitoring, pipeline monitoring, and alerting features. It makes it easier to spot issues early, track data freshness, and understand what's going wrong without having to manually check everything. The alerting features in Decube are really helpful because I don't have to keep checking everything manually. If a pipeline fails, data is delayed, or something unusual happens, Decube notifies me so I can look into it quickly. It saves time and helps me catch small issues before they affect our reports or daily work. Decube brings useful monitoring tools together, saves manual effort, and makes it easier to maintain reliable data pipelines with fewer surprises.

Good data quality, but the solution is outdated and difficult to use
The initial setup was complex and not very intuitive. You have to be very knowledgeable to complete the setup, and it is not an easy-to-use tool. It would be sufficient to have one dedicated administrator who can deploy updates and maintain the solution for about 10 to 20 hours a month.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Decube brings useful monitoring tools together, saves manual effort, and makes it easier to maintain reliable data pipelines with fewer surprises."
"The data lineage chart is definitely helpful because it allows us to traverse how data flows from the source to the report layer, providing full visibility of how the system works."
"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."
"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."
"For basic Business Rule Creation to cleanse Legacy data, it worked as intended."
"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."
"You can also schedule and run data quality on the critical data elements on the databases."
"Information Analyzer is still a good product."
 

Cons

"There are a few drawbacks to the product. If I delete any record, it is not immediate and does not allow me to create the assets again."
"Decube could improve by offering more customizable alerts, a simpler dashboard, faster setup, and clearer troubleshooting suggestions when pipeline issues occur."
"The solution is outdated and is not on cloud."
"Stopped using it. Took a loss."
"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."
"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."
"As of v9.1, the troubleshooting process is still painful."
"Customer Service: AverageTechnical Support: Not good"
 

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."
