The product is stable and reliable. I'd rate it eight out of ten. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash.
View full review »The solution is quite mature. It has been in the technology ecosystem for more than two decades. In 2008 and 2009, the solution did not have some connectors. However, the product designers gave us the flexibility to design our connectors. Custom features were always available in the product. It was quite helpful for the end users.

View full review »I would rate the stability of DataStage at around eight out of ten. While it is generally stable, occasional issues arise due to our team not consistently following best practices during process development, impacting server installations.
I would rate the stability of this solution a seven out of ten.
View full review »IBM InfoSphere DataStage is a stable product and it's been in the market for quite some time, but in its latest version, there's been some instability caused by the new features introduced in the solution. The architecture was changed a lot and that was causing issues and frequent outages that my company had to go back to IBM for troubleshooting. My team didn't face issues in the earlier version of IBM InfoSphere DataStage. It was the latest version that had instability issues.

We don't currently have much in our production environment. We are gradually moving into production, so whatever small setup we have is okay for now. I'm taking the overall perspective into account and I think we do have dependencies on the other jobs. This is purely based on the feedback we receive, which sometimes means that we're not able to run our process because there are dependencies, similar to other jobs also. The jobs don't complete on time. We received feedback that there was a problem handling data, which caused jobs to fail and needed to be rerun. This could be product-specific, design-specific, or anything else, but I think there is room for improvement in terms of stability. I would give the solution a seven out of ten.

It is quite stable. In the newer components of InfoSphere, you have a mapping tool called FastTrack and a metadata generator, which can have issues from time to time, but they get resolved.

This is a stable solution. You have to be careful when you install a service pack because sometimes it causes problems. There may be a second service pack to solve problems that were introduced by the first one.

This is a stable product.
View full review »The stability is related to the operating system your company uses. It crashes occasionally when you're hosting the application servers, but only in the servers on the operating system. With Linux, because Linux itself is very robust, it crashes less. For example, we have a telecom with 40 million users and using Linux it crashed maybe two times a year. However, when the solution was hosted on the Windows platform, it crashed two to three times a month.
The crashes are related to memory and if it's not automated, you have to deal with it manually. On Windows, you have to release the cache memories manually, but on Linux, you don't have to do that, which is why you get less crashing.
The product is stable.
