Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."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."
"It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"We can view what we want to do. We can transform data and put them on tables."
"We like the flexibility of modeling."
"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 of the solution is the ability to incorporate very complex business rules in Data Stage."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to transfer information via notes."
"The performance optimization is quite good in DataStage. It provides parallelism and pipelining mechanisms"
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"Currently lacking virtualization ability."
"The setup is extremely difficult."
"The response time from support is slow and needs to be improved."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
"There could be more customization options for the product."
"The documentation and in-application help for this solution need to be improved, especially for new features."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
