Reliable with asset management Great to discover virtual servers Incentivized jamie anderson Warehouse Manager Read full review	Sesame Software No answers on this topic
Pros	IBM 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. Karina Gonzalez Manager Data Management Read full review	Sesame Software No answers on this topic
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.

Return on Investment	IBM 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.
