We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage and Oracle Integration Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When we have needed help from the IBM team, they were helpful. Our company is a premium partner so we get fast responses."
"The data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"We can view what we want to do. We can transform data and put them on tables."
"Offers great flexibility."
"The most valuable feature for our data processing needs is IBM InfoSphere DataStage's capability to handle ETL tasks with large record volumes."
"I am impressed with the tool's ETL tracing."
"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."
"Once you have Infosphere up and running properly, it is stable."
"In general, there were a lot of great utilities for working with files."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Integration Cloud Service are the seeded integrations with many communication platforms, such as Slack and emails. It works best for the historical communication methods. Those are still prevalent with all the other clients. When we are doing the integrations, it makes it a little bit easier for us to communicate the same output over Slack, rather than sending out an email and downloading the report. The number of seeded functionalities within the Oracle Integration Cloud Service platform is better."
"The lack of features in something like Oracle Integration Cloud leaves some room for leads implementation partners like us"
"I particularly like the drag-and-drop feature for designing integrations and processes."
"The Oracle integration tool is the most comfortable tool for using those Oracle products."
"The most important part would be the use of connectors. The significant number of cloud connectors available for active integration is its value."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of customization."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"The template mapping could be easier."
"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."
"It would be useful to provide support for Python, AR, and Java."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"The solution can be a bit more user-friendly, similar to Informatica."
"The initial setup can be complex."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
"Sometimes, the tech support is slow to get back to us. We have had to wait up to two weeks for a response."
"In designer mode, sometimes the browser closure or other unknown issues can cause strange behavior, which requires a restart."
"The solution doesn't currently have a fully fledged workflow feature like they have in OIM."
"Make it more similar to the on-premises features. For example, if you can edit the code directly rather than just dragging and dropping, or if you can edit the examples by going into the background, and one-click migration, I'd like to see included in the next release."
"Our client was quite concerned about the cost, which is something that could be reduced."
"Dealing with the large file size has occasionally been a challenge."
"The bulk processing needs improvement."
"It would be helpful if there were more tutorials or documentation to learn about Oracle Integration Cloud Service."
