We performed a comparison between Boomi iPaaS and IBM InfoSphere DataStage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI."
"The platform is user-friendly."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"It has been a stable product."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"The concept of integration is a valuable feature of the product."
"The product is a stable and powerful data management solution that can run in parallel mode for enhanced speed."
"Offers great flexibility."
"The most valuable feature is the product's versatility to inject data."
"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."
"We can view what we want to do. We can transform data and put them on tables."
"The most valuable feature for our data processing needs is IBM InfoSphere DataStage's capability to handle ETL tasks with large record volumes."
"In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"Documentation could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"It would be great if they can include some basic version of data quality checking features."
"The interface needs improvement. It is really too technical. That is the main problem."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
"The documentation and in-application help for this solution need to be improved, especially for new features."
"The troubleshooting guide is very bad."
"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."
