We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage and Mule Anypoint Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The performance optimization is quite good in DataStage. It provides parallelism and pipelining mechanisms"
"The product is a stable and powerful data management solution that can run in parallel mode for enhanced speed."
"The product is easy to deploy."
"Highly customizable: Allowing you to handle multiple data latencies (scheduled batch, on-demand, and real-time) in the same job."
"I am impressed with the tool's ETL tracing."
"The data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to transfer information via notes."
"We are mostly using transmission rules. It has a lot of functions and logic related to transmission. It is a user-friendly tool with in-built functions."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is a huge list of available connectors for a lot of different platforms, which we can use very easily."
"The community manager is the standout feature of the Mule Anypoint Platform, as it provides a platform to showcase your API to external parties. It is exceptionally user-friendly and enables external parties to easily utilize and consume the APIs."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."
"This is the easiest and best tool available."
"Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the variety of characters Anypoint Platform has. It is very scalable and customizable."
"The initial setup is quite easy because the solution has a good interface through which the configuration, mapping, and so on can be done."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"Their web interface is good but the on-prem sites are outdated. The solution could also be improved if they could integrate the data pipeline scheduling part of their interface."
"In the future, I would like to see more integration with cloud technologies."
"It would be great if they can include some basic version of data quality checking features."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"So, there are some features that are missing. If I compare DataStage to Talend, Talend allows you to write custom code in Java or use these tools in your applications as well if you are building a job application. But in DataStage, it does not allow you to write custom code for any component."
"It doesn't have any big data connections. It would be good to have them because most of the systems are moving towards big data. There should also be a user-friendly way to interact with the cloud. Its loading process is very slow. It takes a lot of time for around 5 or 6 million records, and we are not able to provide real-time data to the vendors due to this delay. Its performance needs to be improved. It is also like a legacy system. It is not updated much. In higher versions, they only do small changes. We would like to have new features and new technologies."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."
"It doesn't work well when you try using it for the processing layer."
"Code quality, Code Security, SaaS, and DaaS security, can all be improved."
"The pricing can be a little bit less."
"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"The price could be improved."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
