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"
"Finding logs is very easy on the solution."
"The most valuable feature for our data processing needs is IBM InfoSphere DataStage's capability to handle ETL tasks with large record volumes."
"It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"The most valuable feature is the product's versatility to inject data."
"It is quite useful and powerful."
"The concept of integration is a valuable feature of the product."
"Highly customizable: Allowing you to handle multiple data latencies (scheduled batch, on-demand, and real-time) in the same job."
"It has improved our organization a lot because of the increase in productivity, and it has simplified the development of products. MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is a highly effective tool where you can build integrations so effectively. If you establish the integration platform, it increases productivity. It helps us to do effective re-authentication, and it speeds the integration."
"This is a good platform for designing, flowing out APIs, and then doing API-based integrations."
"It can scale."
"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."
"The monitoring capabilities of this product are very good because of the feedback it supplies in statistics."
"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
"Whenever we need some support in our local language, we get it easily. They also have an office in Germany and if a person is unable to contact them by phone, they can go to the office in person."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"Currently lacking virtualization ability."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see more integration with cloud technologies."
"There could be more customization options for the product."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"The graphical user interface (GUI) feels a lot like the interfaces from the 1980s."
"The solution can be a bit more user-friendly, similar to Informatica."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"Code quality, Code Security, SaaS, and DaaS security, can all be improved."
"The inclusion of GenAI in the tool can be good since it is an area that is currently unavailable in the solution."
"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."
"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done. We don't see many features. They should release a basic version that has logging and monitoring features. These features should come with Mule Anypoint Platform for free instead of making customers pay separately for these features. Its dashboard can be improved to have a lot of charts so that it is easy to visualize information. The utilization part can be improved. The dashboard is good currently, but it can be better. Other solutions like Elastic have a good dashboard, and they allow you to administer the product from the UI. Currently, for RTF, there is a different dashboard or utility. It would be good to include the same utility in the cloud solution. It would be good if there is a centralized repository that includes the links to the information about various troubleshooting issues. The documentation is there currently, and it is good, but the troubleshooting information is too scattered. We have to go to different links to find troubleshooting information. This kind of centralized repository would be helpful for new customers who are implementing this solution. It will be helpful to see different kinds of issues that can occur."
"It should give better control over account management."
"One area we'd like to see improvement in is the error logging and troubleshooting process."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having better integration with MDM. There are challenges when doing the interaction at this time."
