Composable DataOps Platform vs. IBM InfoSphere Information Server vs. Rational BI

They need to better identify what their product excels at. I'm continually trying to think of new ideas to run through Composable Analytics. They need to better Identify what this product shines at and market themselves to that subset of an industry

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.

Definitely well suited for small companies, but again many of their competitors are also well suited in this segment. We were in general happy with the solution provided, but I'm not blown away by their solution or support. If you want to get more data-driven visual boards with data displayed in nice graphics is in my opinion a good start, and here Rational BI delivers what it should.

I haven't used the support myself, but my colleagues have been satisfied with the support. As I have understood from my colleagues the support is as you could expect. Still, the documentation could be better and that could avoid the need to contact their support, but overall we're still happy with the support as well.

I would compare them to custom system like Morgan Stanley has that I use. A more appropriate company is Novus or LightKeeper. This product is potentially much cheaper but Novus and Lightkeeper already have built in Analytics screens that you could potential build yourself with Composable.

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

Rational BI allows a deeper data analysis with respect to the other software I experimented with. The velocity to perform the analysis is similar to the other one. The predictive analysis could be very useful, but at the moment I do not use it in my activities. Dashboards are nice and easy to understand.

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

• Allows folks to work on other items as reporting is done in the background.
• Scheduling and delivery of reports with one click.
• Single pane of management.
• Ease of use.
