CData Sync vs. IBM InfoSphere Information Server

Evidently, CData Sync is an excellent middleware tool that is perfect for syncing data between systems. It is especially suitable and works well on SQL servers, DB2, MySQL, and Snowflake, and some of their brothering domains. However, it is a limitation in working with Sage 50 API. But if it is extracted with ODBC, it works well.

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.

• Effortless use of no-code interfaces on data pipelining on.
• High demand numbers of sources and destinations.
• Works with even snowflake, with no error occurrence.
• It uses ETL - (Extract / Transfer / Load).
• It enhances data extraction and database support.

• IIS best for ETL ,not ELT , and many and diffrent source systems.
• It also can process big data , unstuctured data
• It is not only DWH , you can use infosphere for analys and see the bigger architecture of your OLTP systems

• Although efficient for SQL servers and MySQL, as well as Snowflake. It is not strong for other database engines, and an upgrade on this would do a lot.
• The installation process is manual as opposed to the cloud installation it should be.
• A feature of syncing auto increment ID key, that will help in existing data management.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Scale of implementation
• IBM techsupport

Tableau is another similar software tool, unlike CData Sync, rather transforms data into actionable insights. While CData Sync works with automation, Tableau uses a drag box on its AVA, which in turn slows the work speed on the syncing of data. Over the years, I enjoyed the friendly and customizable option of CData Sync over Tableau's.

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

• Reserves resources by covering human power via its automated sync method.
• Saves time: on launching data collectively into a compatible domain.

Incentivized

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