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 product is a stable and powerful data management solution that can run in parallel mode for enhanced speed."
"Offers great flexibility."
"The data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"Highly customizable: Allowing you to handle multiple data latencies (scheduled batch, on-demand, and real-time) in the same job."
"The solution has improved the time it takes to perform tasks related to batch applications."
"We like the flexibility of modeling."
"The technical support is very good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"One of the most valuable features of this tool is its automation capabilities, allowing us to design the warehouse in an automated manner. Additionally, we can generate Data Lifecycle Policies (DLP) reports and efficiently implement updates and best practices based on proven design patterns."
"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem. It's good."
"It can scale."
"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I have found it to be a very good, stable, and strong product."
"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"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."
"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."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
"In the future, I would like to see more integration with cloud technologies."
"There are three things that could improve - the cloud, monitoring and cloud integration. It's a solid product but not a modern one and of course it depends what you're looking for."
"The setup is extremely difficult."
"I'd like to have access to more developer training materials."
"There should be proper documentation available for the implementation process."
"The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring."
"My issues with the solution's stability are owing to the fact that it has certain bugs causing issues in some functionalities that should be working."
"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."
"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."
"It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it."
"There could be more customization options."
