Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Overall Satisfaction with IBM InfoSphere DataStage
DataStage is part of the IBM data integration and governance suite and is primarily used as an ETL tool to integrate information at the corporate level. It allows to minimize the development and maintenance times of integration processes by having a totally visual development environment and therefore the cost of these processes.
- Proven MPP Engine. Excellent performance for integrating data.
- 100% visual development, operational and monitoring environment.
- Any source to any target capabilities.
- Complex transformation capabilities without writing code.
- Metadada and data quality capabilities.
- Hybrid deployment (on-prem or cloud).
- Unified processing engine.
- Pricing.
- Reduce development time by 65% compared with hand coding.
- Reduces ETL process maintenance times.
- Better data governance for technical and non-technical people.
- Improve time to market for initiatives that require data integration.
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.
