User Testimonials
	IBM InfoSphere Information Server	SAP Replication Server
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM 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 Incentivized jamie anderson Warehouse Manager Read full review	SAP I asked questions about a warm standby and multicast replication. We ended up using bi-directional replication and a warm standby db. Having 3 or more live OLTP DB's where each was read-write was going to be difficult to manage for contention if the same table was being updated. We stuck with an easier solution to have only two OLTP's, and then used additional DB's as read-only DW's. Incentivized Bruce Speidel Senior Staff Engineer Read full review
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	SAP guaranteed delivery high availability scalable low latency data transformation Incentivized Gene Baker Vice President, Chief Architect, Development Manager and Software Engineer Read full review
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.
