IBM InfoSphere Information Server vs. Paxata

It's super terrific with workflow automation. Terrific with data backup and convenient with encryption of data. Reliable with asset management Great to discover virtual servers

Paxata can be highly useful to someone who doesn't like/have any experience with writing codes to treat data before using it as input into BI dashboards. Paxata can accelerate data cleaning in environments where a large amount of unclean data is generated and business decisions on the go are required. It performs really well while dealing with natural language.

• Any source to any target support.
• ETL flexibility without coding.
• Extreme data volume processing.
• Native integration with other Data integration functionalities such as data profiling, data cleansing, metadata management.

• Visualize distributions in large data sets effectively which enable the user to quickly spot outliers and treat them appropriately
• Provides recommendation to merge datasets based on matching column values
• The cluster and edit feature in my opinion is its most powerful feature and reduces cardinality in column with text

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Doesn't provide recommendation on how to impute values
• There is a lag quite often
• We can say whether a column has errors or quality issues in the first look

Incentivized

• Scale of implementation
• IBM techsupport

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

Paxata is a much better tool when it comes to handling natural language but Talend provides recommendations on how to impute missing values and outliers. Paxata provides recommendations on dataset tie-ups and joins but Talend doesn't provide any such recommendations. In paxata you can visualize distribution of data in a column and filter them by dragging and selecting the section you'd like to retain

• If you don't use all of the product family, it will be expensive. But if you want to plan use all the products and you will position it in the center of your infrastructure ROI will be effective.

Incentivized

• It saves time to clean data
• It reduces the requirement of too many data engineer/stewards and hence adds positive impact on the return of the business
