We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage and Teradata QueryGrid based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The performance optimization is quite good in DataStage. It provides parallelism and pipelining mechanisms"
"I am impressed with the tool's ETL tracing."
"It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"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 solution is very easy to use."
"In IBM DataStage, the Transformer is the most valuable feature for me. It enables me to apply complex transformations, generate the gateway key, and map source tables into the session table."
"The product is a stable and powerful data management solution that can run in parallel mode for enhanced speed."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to transfer information via notes."
"It is a highly robust software solution."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"The template mapping could be easier."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
"There are three things that could improve - the cloud, monitoring and cloud integration. It's a solid product but not a modern one and of course it depends what you're looking for."
"Currently lacking virtualization ability."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. While building APIs, we had a lot of problems trying to get around it because it is not very user-friendly. We tried to get hold of API documentation, but the documentation is not very well thought out. It should be more structured and elaborate. In terms of additional features, I would like to see good reporting on performance and performance-tuning recommendations that can be based on AI. I would also like to see better data profiling information being reported on InfoSphere."
"Working with some of the big data components is good, but I can see improvements are needed."
"The primary challenge with Teradata lies in its cost structure, encompassing subscription fees, software licenses, and hardware expenses."
