Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The most valuable feature is the data integration for data warehousing."
"It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"The solution has improved the time it takes to perform tasks related to batch applications."
"The concept of integration is a valuable feature of the product."
"Compared to other ETL tools, DataStage has excellent debugging and development capabilities. And the availability of connectors, even though we sometimes have to opt for specific ones. Also, the availability of patches is good."
"The product is a stable and powerful data management solution that can run in parallel mode for enhanced speed."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to incorporate very complex business rules in Data Stage."
"It is quite useful and powerful."
"It improves the performance."
"It takes a lot of time to actually trigger your job and then go into the logs and other stuff. So all of this is really time-consuming."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"I want the tool to continue with the on-prem version, not the cloud one."
"The setup is extremely difficult."
"It would be great if they can include some basic version of data quality checking features."
"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."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
"The error messaging needs to be improved."
"Skill requirement is required. There is a learning curve."
