Alibaba Cloud Data Integration vs. IBM InfoSphere Information Server vs. Oracle Data Integration Platform Cloud (discontinued)

Information Server is extremely useful to replace manual developments that require a lot of coding effort. It significantly increases the productivity of the initial development and the future maintenance of the processes since it has a visual development environment with self-documentation.

For daily transactional information and customer data needs it has been an extremely fast and reliable system. Several thousand users are able to connect many third party tools and run a large number of extracts while still experiencing great performance. For smaller systems in use with limited user accounts this system is less appropriate due to maintenance resources required.

DataStage is more robust and stable than ODI The ability to perform complex transformations or implement business rules is much more developed in DS

We are longtime ODI on-premise users. So, it was easy for us to migrate to the ODI cloud rather than implementing another solution.

Incentivized

• Productivity of the development of integration processes.
• Better documentation and governance.
• Reduce training costs of various technologies.

• Ability to setup reliable disaster recovery.
• Upgrades and performance monitoring tools are readily available.
