    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.

    I think it's well suited to help employees be efficient and devote time to other areas of the business. Having a platform that is power-packed with so much customer data is so helpful as an account manager. It allows me to understand how to approach customers based on their partnership and engagement levels.

    • Connectivity Packs such as Pack for SAP Application are a little pricey.

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

    I believe this is the only product I have used in this category. I've used different CRM platforms (Microsoft Dynamics, HubSpot, Salesforce); however, none of these stack up against Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights. Information in CRM is more informational than insightful and customer-driven. CRM [has] been used more to house client data and not in any reports that are beneficial.
