In my company, around twenty to thirty people use IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer, but in client organizations, more people use the product.

Clients use other solutions such as IDQ (Informatica Data Quality), Talend Data Quality, and Collibra which have better or at least the same standards as IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer.

My advice to others who want to start using IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is that it's a very good product because it has a lot of handy features, and it's a product that's easier to learn and that even non-technical people can use it. Its latest version has stability issues, so hopefully, IBM will be able to fix that in the upcoming releases, so if you are okay with that, IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is a good product.

I would rate IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer seven out of ten because of its stability issues.

Get the latest version. Compare with competing products. Know that there are not many experts in the product and that they may pay a premium to hire them.

I rate the solution a four out of ten. The solution is useful and can do the job, but there are other new tools in the market today.

Be sure your people on the ground who will be using it are in the room with IBM making sure their needs are represented and addressed. They'll know the legacy data landscape, and where it's going...not management. View full review »

Information Analyzer is still a good product. It enables the auto data profiling for the end users and it is also capable of doing data quality analysis via business language oriented rules. Being a component of Information Server suite, IA is also leveraging some advantages from it, like shared metadata and powerful parallel engine. Although there are some features which need to be enhanced, I would still recommend others to use IA as a product for data profiling and data quality control. View full review »

If you have too many modifications in your data, data structures, or too many data migrations, then you can purchase this tool, otherwise it is not a tool to use daily because it gives you just a snapshot of data. View full review »
