Another product was used previously. We are a financial services organization. We've used Oracle as the financial business suite. With Oracle, there is DB2 in the back end. There are SAP data services used as well, and there's integration between the applications. 

I've also used SQL and Talend. I've also used Informatica, Spark, and AWS Glue. I use a variety of solutions for various clients. 

I have previously worked on SSIS. After using SSIS, I moved to DataStage. We explored IBM DataStage for our specific needs.

We previously used tools such as Informatica. We've also previously used SQL for billing.

Informatica is the first choice for me. It's easy to use and not so expensive compared to DataStage.

I've used SSIS as well and find this product to be more difficult to set up.

Have used quite a few ETL tools in my job.

• Ab Initio: Even pricier, but has a highly competent ETL tool. It is complete, but hard to use. 
• Informatica: Not as flexible and does not support the same level of complexity in its maps.
• Talend: It is a good tool suite, extensive, but can be cumbersome to cite all its pieces.
• ODI: For the Oracle centric world.
• SSIS: Week when compared to any of the above tool sets.

We have a long list of different providers such as Informatica, IBM, Oracle, Microsoft SSIS, Pentaho, and Talend.

Previously, in another company, I worked with Informatica. There are not a lot of differences but the interface is easier than it is in DataStage.

I have used Informatica and SAS CA. IBM InfoSphere has the highest cost of licensing as compared to others. It is not very widely used, and it is very difficult to find people who have this sort of knowledge. 

The newer version of Informatica is on the cloud and is much more user-friendly than InfoSphere because it provides profiling information in nice graphs and charts. It also provides a lot of templates. For example, if I want to build a whole dimensional kind of structure, Informatica has a template. I just need to use that template. So, the ease of use is far better in Informatica, and it has everything that InfoSphere has. The only thing is that Informatica comes in bundles. That's the reason sometimes organizations don't go for it. For example, the data integration is a separate section, and the data quality is a separate section. They have separate pricing.

We were mostly using ETLs on mainframe jobs.

I am a consultant. I have different projects with different platforms. We are constantly going back and forth to different solutions for different projects.

I have had clients who have used Amazon Redshift.

Over the years, my clients have used many different products. For example, they use IBM Landscape and we use IBM InfoSphere.

Our client previously used SSIS from Microsoft. They also used Oracle. However, they did not have a special solution for ETL. Ten years ago, they used another data warehouse solution which used XML files as a transport layer.

DataStage is a directly specialized ETL tool which has instruments built for the ETL process as a stream. It can visualize and can track the ETL process, integrating it with the data governance catalog along with other IBM instruments. Previous solutions, except for SSIS, were just a number of scripts which created a process like peer-to-peer. It wasn't a centralized ETL tool with centralized ETL governance.

We previously worked with DataStage Informatica, we worked with Talend, we worked with SSIS, we looked at a lot of things in the course of providing solutions for customers.  

We probably work with SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) more often because it is cheaper and easier to get hold of. More clients run SSIS than most of the others, but then most clients do not have massive workloads that require something more robust.  

We used Microsoft Talend previously.
