"Data Integration and Quality with DataStage"
What do you like best about IBM DataStage?

Best data integration tool on the market with a wide range of connectors and advanced data integration and quality features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using Datastage for ETL"
What do you like best about IBM DataStage?

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.

What do you dislike about IBM DataStage?

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.

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.

"Review on IBM Infosphere Datastage"
What do you like best about IBM DataStage?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM DataStage?

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.
