IBM watsonx handles data unification and orchestration tasks well. This helps with ingestion and data transformation across various data sources in an intuitive package. Natigating the workflows along with tracing is also an advantage compared to different tools. This makes watsonx a great data pipeline for ingesting information for AI workflows. An area of improvement for Watsonx could be to enable better connectors to retrieve data from legacy databases.

We use it a lot for importing data. We transform the incoming data to match the formatting of our CRM. We also match on existing records to avoid creating duplicates. Informatica handles all of this exceptionally well. Our users are system administrators. The tool is not well-suited for users who do not have a technical background
