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."I am impressed with the tool's ETL tracing."
"The performance optimization is quite good in DataStage. It provides parallelism and pipelining mechanisms"
"The solution is very easy to use."
"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."
"When we have needed help from the IBM team, they were helpful. Our company is a premium partner so we get fast responses."
"The ETL tools are probably the most valuable feature. It has an IBM tool, a friendly UI and it makes things more comfortable."
"It is quite useful and powerful."
"DataStage works better with Linux operating systems when the application services are hosted on Linux system equipment, but it's powerful on Windows too."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The flexibility has been great overall."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."
"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."
"It can scale."
"Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities."
"The tool's visual features are attractive."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"In the future, I would like to see more integration with cloud technologies."
"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."
"The initial setup can be complex."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"The template mapping could be easier."
"Their web interface is good but the on-prem sites are outdated. The solution could also be improved if they could integrate the data pipeline scheduling part of their interface."
"This becomes an expensive solution over time."
"Mule should have better B2B integration."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"Its documentation needed a little bit of work to make it more usable. It is a platform that is used mainly by developers and other people for connecting systems. Its documentation was confusing in some areas and was not very helpful in other areas. I had to go to a consultant to get some work done, which ideally shouldn't be required."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"In order to set up a storefront, we currently rely on a third-party solution. It would greatly enhance our operations if this feature was integrated into their existing solution."
"Technical support needs to be improved, especially when you need help with more technical aspects of the solution."
