We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage and Tungsten RPA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."IBM is stable and accurate to monitor. It's easy to understand to monitor the data lineage from source to target."
"The performance optimization is quite good in DataStage. It provides parallelism and pipelining mechanisms"
"We can view what we want to do. We can transform data and put them on tables."
"Finding logs is very easy on the solution."
"The concept of integration is a valuable feature of the product."
"The solution's scalability is really good...we are using multi-instance jobs where you can scale them easily."
"Offers great flexibility."
"It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."
"The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services."
"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."
"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."
"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."
"The ability to script information from websites is most valuable. It also seems to be fairly robust and reasonably easy to manage on a server-based deployment. We have a number of robots operating on the central server."
"There could be more customization options for the product."
"Working with some of the big data components is good, but I can see improvements are needed."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"DataStage is quite expensive. It is too hard to find a consultant using DataStage in Turkey."
"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."
"The setup is extremely difficult."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution could use some AI integrated features."
"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."
"Kofax RPA needs to improve integration with SAP and Microsoft. The professional services offered by the tool's team is below par. Its licensing needs to be more modular."
"We are on version 10.6, and the current version seems to be 11. Kofax is cycling the capabilities of the product very quickly. One of the difficulties has been to actually keep up with the capabilities as they've evolved. On the one hand, it is good that the product is getting better, but on the other hand, it is difficult to implement the best way with a product that is evolving constantly."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. They should work on the availability of its documentation. In Automation Anywhere, there is a feature called Discovery Bot that automatically records the process steps and suggests a possible bot. I am not sure if such a feature is available in Kofax. If it is not available, it will be very good to have this feature. "
"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
