I quite like the platform as a whole, but I believe it can improve regarding data lineage (it should indeed improve now with the arrival of Manta to the IBM portfolio). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use InfoSphere DataStage for ETL in our organisation and as datastage can easily handle large data (Tbs) and we can transform our data easily. It's easier to design our jobs in datastage and to run them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a beginner I found using datastage hard. As there are so many functionalities and hence it takes time to get a hang of it. But once you start practicing it, it becomes easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IBM InfoSphere DataStage is simple yet efficient tool for ETL processing.

It has the variety of stages to implement your designs and test the same at runtime.

It has got additional features compared to other ETL tools, which helps in debugging and error handling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datastage is UI is little at the backseat compared to other ETL tools.

Stages could be categorised based on functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are two reasons for us to use it, less cost, and because it's user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer support is excellent, furthermore there can be some improvement on the number of features.

We did not face any problems during its implementation and its integration.

Frequency of use is not high as we are not just relying on it, but we might in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool has many options: a large number of connectors, ease of use of stages (jobs, sequences). It is possible to introduce code and make calls via restApi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Now it seems that you have to work from CloudPak as a cartridge.. this makes the solution more expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- excellent performance in executing ETL processes for large amounts of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Lack of documentation and available knowledge for study and learning.

- Lack of support from the supplier (various problems with the product and also lack of support for functionalities like the quality stage).

- Interface is not at all intuitive and difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DataStage helps us to construct a source model that describes the rules for querying the source database. We have used several stages while making Dimension tables and fact table like transformer, lookup, joins etc. Steps are so easy to use that we must drag and drop the stages required for building the tables.

The thing that I don't like about IBM Infosphere Datastage application is a plan of it is costly. Also, the Metadata propagation in Jobs is somewhat complex for some users and issues in the processing of XML. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is not support code versioning without git integration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What i like most in DataStage that on SaaS delivers ultimate flexibility , load balancing is almost automated though it’s required some tweak on parallel engine . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing as per now . For multicloud and integration it has no match though some issue with DB2 . It also supports the least access policy which most of tools lagging . There is no match for user interface . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
