We performed a comparison between IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer, Oracle Data Quality, and SAP Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, SAP, Talend and others in Data Quality."What's most useful in IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is you can access it from anywhere. It's also pretty easy to learn, so even non-technical business people use it and found the solution easy to learn."
"You can also schedule and run data quality on the critical data elements on the databases."
"The features I like most about Oracle Data Quality include extraction, transformation, and validation, which makes it a multipurpose product such as Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator. I also like that Oracle Data Quality is very fast, so you can use it for a large volume of data within a short period. You have to do the validation very quickly, so the solution helps in that area of data quality. Another feature of Oracle Data Quality that I like is the MDM (Master Data Management) where you'll have a single source of protection, and this makes the solution perfect and helpful to my company."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and maintain."
"With Oracle Data Quality, the most valuable feature is entity matching."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The user interface is ok."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Data Services is the integration with data sources."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"It is a powerful product with a broad range of features."
"Data Services' table comparison mechanism is very powerful. It's pretty hard to find a similar feature in other solutions."
"I like how SAP Data Services links reporting and data integration. That's what's most interesting. You also have the opportunity to leverage the power of the Data Services server."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"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 solution is outdated and is not on cloud."
"If the length of time required for deployment was reduced then it would be very helpful."
"Oracle is currently not that intuitive. We need to use programmers to write code for a lot of the procedures. We need to have them write CL SQL code and write a CL script."
"Oracle Data Quality should integrate with data warehousing solutions such as Azure and CWS Office. For example, having the ability to integrate with tools, such as Azure Synapse and SQL data warehousing would be a great benefit."
"Though validation is good and fast enough in Oracle Data Quality, an area for improvement is the accuracy of the validation. Though the solution offers multidimensional validation, it needs a bit more improvement in the accuracy aspect because smaller products can offer better accuracy in terms of validation compared to Oracle Data Quality. What I'd like to see from the solution in its next release, is an increase in compliances and regulations that would allow it to cover all industries because multiple verticals demand data quality nowadays, and this improvement will be helpful as Oracle Data Quality is an in-built delivered solution."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"There should be some kind of enhancement that can be done on the admin side of certain sites where we can assign the roles and responsibilities. We should be able to control who is using the tool and how."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements."
"It would be nice if this solution was a bit easier to move from development to production."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
