Overall Satisfaction with IBM InfoSphere DataStage

We use DataStage for ETL development, creating jobs to extract the data from different source systems and transform the data to use with different databases, and load the data into the database tables/views using staging tables. We use DataStage with Cognos to show the glossary information for any particular field and track it all the way from the report to the source application.
  • Data integration
  • ETL jobs
  • Business Glossary
  • Creating snapshot views using jobs
  • Better interface for the job designs
  • Mostly positive since we use all kind of different source system applications.
  • It provides graphical framework for jobs development.
  • The can be transformed and delivered to different databases.
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.
