We performed a comparison between Ataccama ONE Platform, IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer, and SAP Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, SAP, Talend and others in Data Quality."The desktop version of the solution was particularly valuable to me, primarily for creating components. We opted for the data quality aspect to assess the quality of our data warehouse. The functionalities available allowed us to not only check data quality but also serve as an ETL tool. This versatility enabled data transformation and storage in various formats, including files on platforms like SharePoint or local online directories. The flexibility of the tool catered to the specific needs of those building components, contributing to our desired outcomes."
"The ease of use of the user console is valuable."
"The product’s important feature is data profiling and quality check."
"The notable aspect lies in the workflow structure, where building the workflow aligns significantly with data governance."
"The drag-and-drop feature is incredibly flexible and straightforward."
"What's most useful in IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is you can access it from anywhere. It's also pretty easy to learn, so even non-technical business people use it and found the solution easy to learn."
"You can also schedule and run data quality on the critical data elements on the databases."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
"Its integration capabilities and the data migration capabilities are the most valuable. It is very good for SAP and non-SAP tools. It has very good integration with SAP, but it also has the capabilities to connect to other systems. We find it very helpful and stable."
"The user interface is ok."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The most valuable feature is the ETL functionality."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"Data movement is a pain."
"I believe it would be beneficial if it could enhance its flexibility to connect with a wider range of downstream systems beyond just Excel and Postgres."
"There is a notable challenge in having to provide detailed filters before the site recognizes the search criteria."
"Speaking specifically about the version we use, version 12.3, I'm unsure if this has been addressed in subsequent versions. One improvement I'd like to see pertains to the language used in certain components, especially in data quality checks. The language complexity posed a challenge for beginners. Although we had on-site assistance from Ataccama, making it manageable for us, some individuals found it difficult to comprehend, necessitating additional support. The provision of a comprehensive guide for on-premise installation can also be enhanced. The lack of detailed information on the solution's workings and the overwhelming nature of notifications, with extensive content, were areas of concern. Streamlining the notification content in newer versions would significantly expedite issue resolution."
"It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data."
"What could be improved or added to IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is more connectors. This solution comes in a package with IBM InfoSphere DataStage and is missing a lot of connectors to various, new data sources, so IBM needs to work on that area. Compared with competitors such as Informatica and Alation which acquired other small companies to work on the connectors, IBM has not done any testing and has tried to develop the connectors in-house, but that's taking a lot of time. As a result, my company is unable to connect to a lot of data sources, particularly modern data sources."
"The solution is outdated and is not on cloud."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"The pricing of the solution should be improved."
"There should be some kind of enhancement that can be done on the admin side of certain sites where we can assign the roles and responsibilities. We should be able to control who is using the tool and how."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
