The product is a stable and powerful data management solution that can run in parallel mode for enhanced speed.
IBM InfoSphere DataStage is highly customizable for handling scheduled batch and real-time data within the same job. It offers data integration for warehousing and volumetric analysis, optimizing performance via parallel processing. It provides stability, availability, and reliable support. However, it lacks connectors for modern data sources, has poor documentation, and a complex architecture causing outages. Pricing issues and limited cloud and big data support affect its appeal.
