With effective capabilities and easy to manipulate the features and easy to produce accurate data analytics and the Cloud services Automation, this IBM platform is more reliable and easy to document management. The features on this platform are equipped with excellent big data management and easy to provide accurate data analytics.

IBM Infosphere DataStage has been in the market for more than a decade now. It is reliable and the user community online is vast and which helps with the resolution identification easily. IBM has done a good job keeping up with guiding connectors and links for new databases and sources that come into the market.

It's obvious since they both are from the same vendors and it makes it easier and can get better rates for licensing. Also, sales rapes are very helpful in case of escalations and critical issues.

We chose IBM InfoSphere DataStage because it is the tool that has been used, historically, at the company level. In the near future, nothing prevents us from orienting ourselves to new solutions in view of a restructuring of architecture.

Currently not using any of the Informatica tools, so, I don't have a real way of comparing the tools. But comparison against Microsoft SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) I'd say DataStage stacks favorably. DataStage is a powerful tool for ETL processes that integrates well with multiple data-sources and can handle high volumes of data. DataStage is also scalable and can be a more robust application when compared to SSIS.

Compared to other ETL tools, the connectors really work, and makes the developments less complex because they facilitate the development of the processes. The maintenance of the processes is simple, since it is a very visual tool, and you can count on the technical documentation given by the tool.

DataStage offers better integration capabilities without the need to write code manually. It also has a native ETL engine whereas MSIS requires a SQL Server. It has better integration capabilities with data quality, data profiling and data governance tools. The main drawback of DataStage vs. MSIS is pricing.
