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."Ab Initio reaches the highest performance and is very flexible in processing huge amounts of data."
"Co>Operating System's most valuable feature is its ability to process bulk data effectively."
"The data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"ETL is the most valuable feature."
"We can view what we want to do. We can transform data and put them on tables."
"The product is a stable and powerful data management solution that can run in parallel mode for enhanced speed."
"We like the flexibility of modeling."
"The ETL tools are probably the most valuable feature. It has an IBM tool, a friendly UI and it makes things more comfortable."
"The best feature of IBM InfoSphere DataStage for me was that it was very much user-friendly. The solution didn't require that much raw coding because most of its features were drag and drop, plus it had a large number of functionalities."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration for data warehousing."
"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."
"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."
"The pricing should be lower."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"The troubleshooting guide is very bad."
"I really like this tool, but the administration should be on the same client application because a lot of administration features are not on the client-side, and they usually need to have administrative access. It's quite complicated to force IT teams to have separate administrative access from the developers."
"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."
"We would be happy to see in next versions the ability to return several parameters from jobs. Now, jobs can return just one parameter. If they could return several parameters, that would be great."
"DataStage is quite expensive. It is too hard to find a consultant using DataStage in Turkey."
"The interface needs improvement. It is really too technical. That is the main problem."
