Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The solution's scalability is really good...we are using multi-instance jobs where you can scale them easily."
"The product is a stable and powerful data management solution that can run in parallel mode for enhanced speed."
"Finding logs is very easy on the solution."
"Once you have Infosphere up and running properly, it is stable."
"The best feature of IBM InfoSphere DataStage for me was that it was very much user-friendly. The solution didn't require that much raw coding because most of its features were drag and drop, plus it had a large number of functionalities."
"The solution has improved the time it takes to perform tasks related to batch applications."
"The ETL tools are probably the most valuable feature. It has an IBM tool, a friendly UI and it makes things more comfortable."
"The data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"It is a scalable solution."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"We would be happy to see in next versions the ability to return several parameters from jobs. Now, jobs can return just one parameter. If they could return several parameters, that would be great."
"There could be more customization options for the product."
"DataStage is quite expensive. It is too hard to find a consultant using DataStage in Turkey."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. While building APIs, we had a lot of problems trying to get around it because it is not very user-friendly. We tried to get hold of API documentation, but the documentation is not very well thought out. It should be more structured and elaborate. In terms of additional features, I would like to see good reporting on performance and performance-tuning recommendations that can be based on AI. I would also like to see better data profiling information being reported on InfoSphere."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
"I really like this tool, but the administration should be on the same client application because a lot of administration features are not on the client-side, and they usually need to have administrative access. It's quite complicated to force IT teams to have separate administrative access from the developers."
"The template mapping could be easier."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
