We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage and SAP Process Orchestration 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."It is quite useful and powerful."
"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 is very easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"In IBM DataStage, the Transformer is the most valuable feature for me. It enables me to apply complex transformations, generate the gateway key, and map source tables into the session table."
"The data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"Highly customizable: Allowing you to handle multiple data latencies (scheduled batch, on-demand, and real-time) in the same job."
"DataStage works better with Linux operating systems when the application services are hosted on Linux system equipment, but it's powerful on Windows too."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"In the future, I would like to see more integration with cloud technologies."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
"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."
"The pricing should be lower."
"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."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"The documentation and in-application help for this solution need to be improved, especially for new features."
"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."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
