"IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward, especially compared to Mule, which our team has worked with before and found to be a bit more complex in terms of setup."
"It's scalable."
"In our DW/BI solution, ODI is the main tool to integrate the data in a daily batch way."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"The Knowledge Module approach provides an easy and reusable way to create our own integration strategies. It's easy to create these Knowledge Modules to connect to new technologies, for instance."
"ODI significantly improves data integration and management by allowing customization of data types from various sources like SQL Server databases."
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
"Their technical support needs improvement."

"IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing."
"I rate it a seven out of 10 because there is room for growth because ODI is still new, in comparison to Informatica, which is a mature product."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
