"The most valuable feature is the product's versatility to inject data."
"It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"IBM is stable and accurate to monitor. It's easy to understand to monitor the data lineage from source to target."
"When we have needed help from the IBM team, they were helpful. Our company is a premium partner so we get fast responses."
"It is quite useful and powerful."
"Once you have Infosphere up and running properly, it is stable."
"The most valuable feature for our data processing needs is IBM InfoSphere DataStage's capability to handle ETL tasks with large record volumes."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
"It would be useful to provide support for Python, AR, and Java."
"Working with some of the big data components is good, but I can see improvements are needed."
"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."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
