Sr. IBM DataStage ETL Developer
What do you like best about the product?
Parallisam and partision are the best features for this tool
What do you dislike about the product?
IBM Support taking more time to get answers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Database connections
Great overall experience. This ETL tool is very reliable and has many features for data processing
What do you like best about the product?
IBM InfoSphere DataStage can provide a great performance since it works with the concept of data parallelism processing across the nodes you can define over settings. As any other ETL tool it can help users to understand the goal of each program easily through the visual data flow. It's well designed to be scalable and it also provides many features and packs according to the new trends (Big Data, Machine Learning etc) being very flexible to run custom codes developed in other programming languages. The idea of dividing the tool in the Designer module, Director module and Administrator module is also a plus in my opinion.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being a real advanced developer of IBM InfoSphere DataStage is not really an easy task since there are many tricks and many concepts of data parallelism processing that need to be applied in the programs to achieve the best results. Sometimes there are some metadata bugs that requires starting and stopping the DataStage services to fix it. The newer versions of the client runs "heavy" and require a good desktop computer (memory/cpu) to run smoothly. It's a reliable tool but it's also expensive, if you need to upgrade the version, certainly you will need IBM's support to do so.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You can use IBM InfoSphere DataStage as a Data Integration and ETL tool. You can extract data from many different sources (sequential files, databases, web services etc) and process it inside DataStage applying many data munging techniques (join, aggregation, calculations, export, import, load etc). The main benefit of this tool is allowing the company to centralize all data processing jobs on this toll and making it easier to manage.
Robust ETL tool
What do you like best about the product?
Pallelism, Runtime column propagation, Ease of development, integration with various other infosphere tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
source code versioning is not available ( cannot rollback to previous versions)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complex Data processing to enable accurate reporting to Banking and Retails gaints
I was not very knowledgeable about ETL...
What do you like best about the product?
I worked with IBM InfoSphere DataStage for 1 year. It was a very good experience, because I was not very knowledgeable about ETL and through it I was able to understand and work better because it was very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps what I did not like, was the problems of connections with some databases
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was used to work with ETL.
Transfer data from SQL to Oracle. there were also migrations from SQL to SQL with information transformations

Best Data Integration tool for On premise RDBMS requirements
What do you like best about the product?
The designer has a great UI to develop the code. The palette has a wide variety of stages for all transformations and data quality requirements.
The director helps you compile and run the ETL jobs. It also helps us to check the state of the job before running the job.
If Information Analyzer (IA) is chosen to do the data profiling, the rules created in IA can be directly imported to Data Stage to accelerate the development process.
The tool has a transformer stage which is capable of doing most of the transformations.
The tool also helps you develop and maintain your data transfer jobs and control jobs as parallel and sequence jobs respectively thereby avoiding confusions.
It has a wide variety of partitioning techniques that can help you optimize the parallel jobs
It is flexible enough to connect with different types of relational and non relational databases
Reading logs is so easy with the Director.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the error messages that we get will be totally irrelevant to the actual error in the job.
There are limited forums to discuss challenges in using the tool.
Configuring DSNs on the LINUX server is sometimes very challenging when we don't have a handy guide to help us.
Limited information available in the documentation provided.
Code comparison is a challenging while promoting jobs to higher environments. An additional feature to do that will be really helpful
The jobs can't be debugged using check points.
The tool can be improved for cloud integration capabilities

Creating MDM MaintainParty XMLs from multiple data sources. The tool has a stage called Hierarchical stage which helps you generate recurring objects in the XMLs in an easy manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend IBM Infosphere Data Stage for Data integration requirements related to RDBMS and MDM systems
Great ETL Platform that Integrates Data Across Multiple Enterprise Systems
What do you like best about the product?
Datastage supports multiple data sources which include but not limited to sequential files, indexed files, relational databases, external data sources, archives, enterprise applications. Also, it is also easy to adapt and learn the tools by a developer. It is backed by a strong enterprise support and IBM provides good documentation. It has been widely used and most trusted and recommended Data Integration Tools available in the market.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since it is an enterprise solution, there is a high competition in terms of latest tools available in the market and the UI is current and easy to use. It is not easy to get use cases and help online to implement few functionalities. It is not easy to convince a Customer who are not tided to IBM tools
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used mostly to process data as per the customer needs and as the tool is versatile and supports different data sources which helped achieve the goal easily. I have realized that it is one of the tool which helped to solve complex data integration workload across multiple sources and cleanse the data which can be used readily for processing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Datastage due to the below points and it is worth giving it a shot before considering any ETL tool available in the market.
Based on highly scalable parallel processing approach
Direct link to enterprise applications is used as sources or targets
Operates in three different modes- batch, real-time and web service

IBM DataStage
What do you like best about the product?
Datastage is really good software for data processing. All the data process, we can do using graphical user interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mostly, i liked everything about it. But I feel like they need to add way, user can use existing sequences in different jobs. So it will be easy to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was part of team, where we are processing a big chunk of data from the mainframe. It's really faster to processing data.
