Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."
"The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature."
"This solution is extremely flexible and scalable."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."
"R and automation services."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"It’s stable and straightforward."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"Their technical support needs improvement."
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing."
"This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."
"The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"The data compression has room for improvement."
"We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding."
"When you do the data loading, it is slow."
"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."
