We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage and Informatica Enterprise Data Lake based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The most valuable feature is the ability to transfer information via notes."
"We can view what we want to do. We can transform data and put them on tables."
"The most valuable feature is the product's versatility to inject data."
"It is quite useful and powerful."
"The data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"ETL is the most valuable feature."
"As a data integration platform, it is easy to use. It is quite robust and useful for volumetric analysis when you have huge volumes of data. We have tested it for up to ten million rows, and it is robust enough to process ten million rows internally with its parallel processing. Its error logging mechanism is far simpler and easier to understand than other data integration tools. The newer version of InfoSphere has the data catalog and IDC lineage. They are helpful in the easy traceability of columns and tables."
"The Hierarchical Data Stage is good."
"The process of using the tool's scalability option is well documented."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
"Currently lacking virtualization ability."
"The interface needs improvement."
"Improvements for DataStage could include better integration with modern data sources like cloud solutions and documents, along with enhancing its capability to handle non-structured data."
"The solution can be a bit more user-friendly, similar to Informatica."
"It would be useful to provide support for Python, AR, and Java."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Lake's setup process was complex since it doesn't support a lot of real-time systems."
