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."It's a robust solution."
"The product is easy to deploy."
"Finding logs is very easy on the solution."
"Compared to other ETL tools, DataStage has excellent debugging and development capabilities. And the availability of connectors, even though we sometimes have to opt for specific ones. Also, the availability of patches is good."
"We like the flexibility of modeling."
"The most valuable feature is the product's versatility to inject data."
"ETL is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"People are able to scale up, learn it quickly, and start delivering."
"The most important part would be the use of connectors. The significant number of cloud connectors available for active integration is its value."
"It's easy to build an integration and make changes to it."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service is a really good product and the ROI is very good with it. It lowers development time. A development cycle that may have taken a year without Oracle Integration Cloud Service can drop down to three or four months with it."
"The lack of features in something like Oracle Integration Cloud leaves some room for leads implementation partners like us"
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers a lot of adaptors."
"The Oracle integration tool is the most comfortable tool for using those Oracle products."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is its performance."
"It would be great if they can include some basic version of data quality checking features."
"The template mapping could be easier."
"The interface needs improvement."
"What needs improvement in IBM InfoSphere DataStage is its pricing. The pricing for the solution is higher than its competitors, so a lot of the clients my company has worked with prefer other tools over IBM InfoSphere DataStage because of the high price tag. Another area for improvement in the solution stems from a lot of new types of databases, for example, databases in the cloud and big data have become available, and IBM InfoSphere DataStage is working on various connectors for different data sources, but that still isn't up-to-date, meaning that some connectors are missing for modern data sources. The latest version of IBM InfoSphere DataStage also has a complex architecture, so my team faced frequent outages and that should be improved as well."
"It takes a lot of time to actually trigger your job and then go into the logs and other stuff. So all of this is really time-consuming."
"Improvements for DataStage could include better integration with modern data sources like cloud solutions and documents, along with enhancing its capability to handle non-structured data."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
"It would be helpful if there were more tutorials or documentation to learn about Oracle Integration Cloud Service."
"Lacks features for more complex integrations."
"There is a payload size limit and we're unable to integrate some legacy applications."
"Our client was quite concerned about the cost, which is something that could be reduced."
"We would love to have more and more ready-to-use interfaces from Oracle."
"The solution is expensive."
"Oracle-based automation blueprints for the majority of the integrations would be helpful to have in a future release."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service can improve the downloading and uploading of files. I've submitted this issue to the Oracle Idea Labs. The issue is from the front end of Oracle Integration Cloud, we cannot download or upload a file directly or drag and drop it."
