Apache Airflow vs. IBM InfoSphere Information Server

For a quick job scanning of status and deep-diving into job issues, details, and flows, AirFlow does a good job. No fuss, no muss. The low learning curve as the UI is very straightforward, and navigating it will be familiar after spending some time using it. Our requirements are pretty simple. Job scheduler, workflows, and monitoring. The jobs we run are >100, but still is a lot to review and troubleshoot when jobs don't run. So when managing large jobs, AirFlow dated UI can be a bit of a drawback.

• In charge of the ETL processes.
• As there is no incoming or outgoing data, we may handle the scheduling of tasks as code and avoid the requirement for monitoring.

• Any source to any target support.
• ETL flexibility without coding.
• Extreme data volume processing.
• Native integration with other Data integration functionalities such as data profiling, data cleansing, metadata management.

• they should bring in some time based scheduling too not only event based
• they do not store the metadata due to which we are not able to analyze the workflows
• they only support python as of now for scripted pipeline writing

• I would be nice to have a new web development environment for DataStage.
• Connectivity Packs such as Pack for SAP Application are a little pricey.
• It is confusing for new developers the possibility of developing jobs using different execution engines such as Parallel or Server.

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

• A lot of helpful features out-of-the-box, such as the DAG visualizations and task trees
• Allowed us to implement complex data pipelines easily and at a relatively low cost

• If you don't use all of the product family, it will be expensive. But if you want to plan use all the products and you will position it in the center of your infrastructure ROI will be effective.
