Pros
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable.""This solution is extremely flexible and scalable.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature."

More IBM InfoSphere Information Server Pros →

"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop.""You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems.""SnapLogic is an IPA tool that leverages a low code environment to connect to multiple sources, extract data, and store it in Azure data lake.""The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy.""An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs""SnapLogic is more user-friendly than Boomi in terms of debugging. You can move the mouse to a place, and it will record and show the data easily.""The solution could improve its API management.""SnapLogic is a great platform for establishing integrations among various systems or patterns by using any kind of interface. If something is not supported by predefined snaps – snaps are connectors in SnapLogic – you can create them (custom snaps) or write a script."

Cons
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required.""IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing.""This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight.""Their technical support needs improvement."

More IBM InfoSphere Information Server Cons →

"We'd like zero downtime in the future.""I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections.""SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up.""The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that.""The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement.""We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use.""The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy.""One of the areas for improvement in SnapLogic is that the connectors for some of the applications should be more available in terms of testing in the dev environment. Another area for improvement is that the logging should be standardized, for example, the integration with an ELK stack should be required out-of-the-box, so you can ship the log and have it in the ELK stack. There should be integration with ELK stack for the log shipping."
