    Displayr
    Displayr is perfectly suited for any insights or data people that understand the type of analysis they want to do, but don't know R code - or just want to get to results more quickly than coding themselves. It's probably not the best learning ground, if you've never done any quantitative analysis before, but then neither are traditional tools like SPSS or Q.

    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.

    Pros
    Displayr
    • The intuitive interface and menus make it easy to quickly learn Displayr and find the types of data transformation or analysis that we're looking to do.
    • The support level from Displayr's team is FIRST CLASS. Where othe platforms force you to an FAQ or AI chat bot, Displayr's team will jump in first hand, into our data, or on a live call, and help us run a new type of analysis or troubleshoot a problem.
    • The ability to work collaboratively, asynchronously and remotely, on the same data set and report is a really huge plus for us.
    • The in-built options for multivariate analysis cover 99.9% of anything we have - or will - ever need to run.

    • 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

    Cons
    Displayr
    • The new "glow-up" on the interface has helped make it a bit easier on the eye, but there are some features of working in the "three pane" browser that are a bit frustrating: especially having to 'rearrange' when resizing the window to look at another app simultaneously.
    • Such a small point, but being able to drag and move multiple elements in a table (eg drag two rows to the top) SIMULTANEOUSLY would help a bunch.
    • I don't think we take advantage of all the visualisation capabilities in Displayr, and perhaps an AI 'recommendation' engine that sees the data I'm working with and prompts either a specific visualisation, or additional analysis option I might use, would be great.

    • 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.

    Usability
    Displayr
    It's really quite intuitive, but the visual interface could be made a bit more easy to use (window/pane rescaling etc) and I think there could be more 'proactive prompts' to suggest features we're underutilising.

    SPSS (the last version I looked at) still requires much more underlying knowledge and coding ability to get where we want to be. That's not where we add value, so the speed and simplicity with which Displayr allows us to get the data analysis done, and move onto developing insight and delivering value is why I chose Displayr.

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

    Return on Investment
    Displayr
    • I think Displayr is quite expensive, but has the biggest impact on our P&L of any of our subscriptions, because it has unlocked our ability to deliver bigger, more complex analytic projects for clients - and hence grow our topline.
    • The ability to scale the license between years has also been a god-send as our team has gone up or down to deliver the level of quant work available to us.
    • There's also a bottom line efficiency driven by some of the speed of analysis that Displayr enables.
