InfoSphere Information Server is used primarily as a corporate data integration platform. It allows to integrate data from several different commercial and industrial systems. It is a cross-departamental integration platform for extracting, transforming and loading data.
- 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.
- Lack of a strong web development environment.
- Metadata propagation in Jobs is somewhat complex.
- The possibility to develop jobs in Parallel and/or Server Engines is confusing.

We use infosphere for
1-Load Data Warehouse: I design ETL jobs for load data to our ODS, DWH and DM tables
2-Design DWH with Data Architect: I use data architect for creating DWH and DM tables. Create diagrams for business flow, table relationships etc.
3-Analysis to OLTP with Information Analyser: I use IA to check our OLTP system.
4-Information Governance Catalog: see the big picture of business and infostructure. We use IGC as a data dictionary, data lineage, and business lineage tool.

- IIS best for ETL ,not ELT , and many and diffrent source systems.
- It also can process big data , unstuctured data
- It is not only DWH , you can use infosphere for analys and see the bigger architecture of your OLTP systems
- Infosphere may improve its logging system. If you dont familier logs of infosphere it's little bit hard to understand

InfoSphere Information Server is used primarily as a corporate data integration platform. It allows not only integrate data from different systems but also analyzes the quality of the data and improve it. Additionally, it allows managing metadata from end to end allowing a general overview of the data integration environment. Regarding the use cases, it is a cross-industry integration platform covering the need for data movement, improvement of data quality, metadata management of any integration project.
- ETL capabilities, integrating data from any source system to any destination.
- MPP Processing Engine
- Data Profiling & Data Cleansing capabilities with multi-country support for common data such as names and addresses
- Metatada management capabilities not only within the platform but also with 3er party tools like BI tools
- 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.

IBM InfoSphere Information Server is being used for data warehouse, as well as data analytics and analysis.
- Great for data warehouse
- Gathering an analytics of data is great
- Metadata
- Setup is slow and painful
- The backend database DB2 is dated and it shows
- Support is very hard to work with

We have used DataStage for many years to be able to create the integrations for the loading of the DW or migrations in different companies of different industries
- It is very strong to make transformations/data derivations
- It is very easy to connect to various external data sources. It has an interface (stages) for each connection that simplifies the task
- It is a stable platform. And that parallelism helps make it fast for loading, if the process is well designed
- Schedule of the processes
- Process versioning
- Deploy of versioned processes between environments. Revision of previous versions
