We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage and Oracle Integration Cloud Service 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."I am impressed with the tool's ETL tracing."
"Compared to other ETL tools, DataStage has excellent debugging and development capabilities. And the availability of connectors, even though we sometimes have to opt for specific ones. Also, the availability of patches is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to transfer information via notes."
"Highly customizable: Allowing you to handle multiple data latencies (scheduled batch, on-demand, and real-time) in the same job."
"The Hierarchical Data Stage is good."
"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 data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"The ETL tools are probably the most valuable feature. It has an IBM tool, a friendly UI and it makes things more comfortable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the SFTP adapters, file adapters, and risk adapters, that we use in everyday projects."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service is a really good product and the ROI is very good with it. It lowers development time. A development cycle that may have taken a year without Oracle Integration Cloud Service can drop down to three or four months with it."
"OIC offers a number of pre-built technology and SaaS adapters for high productivity for a wide range of target systems, both in-house via agents and cloud/SaaS, via a very flexible range of interfaces."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Integration Cloud Service are the seeded integrations with many communication platforms, such as Slack and emails. It works best for the historical communication methods. Those are still prevalent with all the other clients. When we are doing the integrations, it makes it a little bit easier for us to communicate the same output over Slack, rather than sending out an email and downloading the report. The number of seeded functionalities within the Oracle Integration Cloud Service platform is better."
"The most important part would be the use of connectors. The significant number of cloud connectors available for active integration is its value."
"The Oracle integration tool is the most comfortable tool for using those Oracle products."
"I particularly like the drag-and-drop feature for designing integrations and processes."
"The dashboard provided by Oracle Integration Cloud for monitoring and error handling is very intuitive."
"The interface needs improvement."
"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."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"Working with some of the big data components is good, but I can see improvements are needed."
"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."
"DataStage is quite expensive. It is too hard to find a consultant using DataStage in Turkey."
"It has lengthy documentation, making the process of building applications more time-consuming."
"They should provide tutorials for beginners to learn about the processes."
"We would love to have more and more ready-to-use interfaces from Oracle."
"Dealing with the large file size has occasionally been a challenge."
"The solution is expensive."
"While most of the adapters are available through Oracle Integration Cloud Services, they do not have a lot of features. I would like to see some enrichment in this area and for the solution to go deeper into the applications and upgrade the adapters."
"It would be helpful if there were more tutorials or documentation to learn about Oracle Integration Cloud Service."
"There is a payload size limit and we're unable to integrate some legacy applications."
