We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage and MuleSoft Composer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The concept of integration is a valuable feature of the product."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration for data warehousing."
"The solution is stable."
"The data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"As a data integration platform, it is easy to use. It is quite robust and useful for volumetric analysis when you have huge volumes of data. We have tested it for up to ten million rows, and it is robust enough to process ten million rows internally with its parallel processing. Its error logging mechanism is far simpler and easier to understand than other data integration tools. The newer version of InfoSphere has the data catalog and IDC lineage. They are helpful in the easy traceability of columns and tables."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to transfer information via notes."
"The most valuable feature is the product's versatility to inject data."
"It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"The advantage of using MuleSoft as part as the Salesforce ecosystem is that anything new they build is guaranteed to work with the new features that are coming from the other side."
"The product is easy to use. You don't need programming skills to use it."
"The prebuilt connectors have saved our customers a lot of time and money."
"The way Composer organizes and manages integration processes is most beneficial. We can easily monitor what's running and what isn't and troubleshoot any data integration issues."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"Currently lacking virtualization ability."
"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."
"So, there are some features that are missing. If I compare DataStage to Talend, Talend allows you to write custom code in Java or use these tools in your applications as well if you are building a job application. But in DataStage, it does not allow you to write custom code for any component."
"I want the tool to continue with the on-prem version, not the cloud one."
"The initial setup can be complex."
"The response time from support is slow and needs to be improved."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
"MuleSoft Composer needs to improve its interface and scalability."
"The technical support team's response time must be improved."
"This solution could be improved by offering more integrations with other platforms."
"One additional feature they could add might be something like regional prices. Since we're based in Brazil, we pay in dollars but earn in Brazilian Real."
