Cons
"The solution is outdated and is not on cloud.""What could be improved or added to IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is more connectors. This solution comes in a package with IBM InfoSphere DataStage and is missing a lot of connectors to various, new data sources, so IBM needs to work on that area. Compared with competitors such as Informatica and Alation which acquired other small companies to work on the connectors, IBM has not done any testing and has tried to develop the connectors in-house, but that's taking a lot of time. As a result, my company is unable to connect to a lot of data sources, particularly modern data sources."

"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration.""Informatica is very expensive.""Exploring the possibility of incorporating AI capabilities that can suggest additional rules would significantly streamline our data analysis process following data profiling.""Although we are very satisfied with the design of the UI, executing tasks with it can be difficult.""The customer servive and support could be faster. There is a slow turnaround.""There is room for improvement in the Data Marketplace aspect.""I would like to see better visuals for business users, such as a dashboard where they can precisely track where problems are.""One area that could use improvement is the speed of the web interfaces. At present, they are very slow. I think it is essential that we are original and robust on-premises."
