We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage and WSO2 Enterprise Integrator 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."The data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"The solution's scalability is really good...we are using multi-instance jobs where you can scale them easily."
"When we have needed help from the IBM team, they were helpful. Our company is a premium partner so we get fast responses."
"The ETL tools are probably the most valuable feature. It has an IBM tool, a friendly UI and it makes things more comfortable."
"Once you have Infosphere up and running properly, it is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration for data warehousing."
"Finding logs is very easy on the solution."
"The product is easy to deploy."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The installation process is easy."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"It doesn't have any big data connections. It would be good to have them because most of the systems are moving towards big data. There should also be a user-friendly way to interact with the cloud. Its loading process is very slow. It takes a lot of time for around 5 or 6 million records, and we are not able to provide real-time data to the vendors due to this delay. Its performance needs to be improved. It is also like a legacy system. It is not updated much. In higher versions, they only do small changes. We would like to have new features and new technologies."
"The initial setup can be complex."
"What needs improvement in IBM InfoSphere DataStage is its pricing. The pricing for the solution is higher than its competitors, so a lot of the clients my company has worked with prefer other tools over IBM InfoSphere DataStage because of the high price tag. Another area for improvement in the solution stems from a lot of new types of databases, for example, databases in the cloud and big data have become available, and IBM InfoSphere DataStage is working on various connectors for different data sources, but that still isn't up-to-date, meaning that some connectors are missing for modern data sources. The latest version of IBM InfoSphere DataStage also has a complex architecture, so my team faced frequent outages and that should be improved as well."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
"Working with some of the big data components is good, but I can see improvements are needed."
"The interface needs improvement."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
"The documentation and in-application help for this solution need to be improved, especially for new features."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
