    IBM
    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.

    The Informatics vision is already determined and with the relationships already configured, or that plasters any new type of vision or relationship between the Assets. As a result, a pedigree diagram is poor and limited with the availability of information on the screen or in reports for consultation and decision making. It has an approval and maintenance workflow that is also limited to assets already made available only by Informática. It will not be possible to see the connection of a technical, functional, and documentary line in a single flow. It allows the registration of all data referring to a DPIA and LIA, but it does not generate a report that allows the aggregation of this set of information in a single place. The tool makes information available to support a decision regarding the DPIA and LIA, but it does not make it available in a unified way as in a report.

    MEGA is well suited for
    • Service Architecture definition
    • Service relationships
    • Service that supports process and vice versa
    • Business process definition
    • Definition of Business Entities
    • Management of business entities
    • Business Entity managed by services
    • Creation of service reports
    MEGA is less appropriate for:
    • Business Service management information (who is “developing, responsible, etc.” for business services)
    • Business services contracts
    • Business services performance management

    Cons
    IBM
    • 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.

    • High Complexity, requires training.
    • As it does not allow customization in relationships such as information separately in visual form and even in other tools of the Informatics group such as EDC.
    • Navigation is complex.

    Overall experience with Axon is average and it is a very manual product. Axon is a very good tool for data governance. User-friendly interface and is integrated with multiple systems.
