    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.

    Not a unified audience database but for segmenting for programmatic advertising [Lytics is] excellent[.] It is an identity / email driven database[.] Does not combine users into one master record[.] Excellent built-in scoring mechanisms which I use regularly to isolate most engaged users[.]

    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.
