it is suited for the scenario where the major or more number users and transactions are involved.it would help with data analysis,of how many transactions, and what was the frequency of the transactions,how much amount was paid and how much was the due , and how many count of the refills done.

IBM infosphere works exceptionally well as an ETL tool. It is relatively easy to pick up and the learning curve is not steep for a new user. From an integration perspective, Infosphere DataStage has connectors to all the prominent databases and files. The seamless integration with the Active directory helps manage the security and access privileges. A place to improve - web-based hierarchical stage.

I believe that for the classic vision of integration, IBM InfoSphere DataStage is a reliable tool. It certainly cannot meet the latest requirements and does not guarantee the speed and versatility of the new data management systems.

DataStage is well suited for any size of company that's looking to move, transform, clean data and easily create data-warehouses that would help to make data ready to be presented for decision making. Data Stage would easily integrate with companies that use IBM DB2 as their main RDBMS.
A scenario where it less suited could be cost. I have noticed IBM tools tend to be a little more costly than average.

It is well suited if your data is quite complex and many data rules are in place. You have to write real complex data joins to generate output. While DataStage can handle it and provide you an intuitive design for support and analysis.

Recommend for:
Small and large data volumes
For development and processing of complex data (functions / routines)
File management
Migrating Data from a Database to other
When you need to track all the data loaded, because you can have all the information about the transformation, the derivation, and where it was used
