Command line version with parameter switches for batch scripts.

In advance settings the amount of concurrent threads can be decided by the user.

To manage users, go to the admin dashboard, here is a section for users. In this users section here you can see which users are configured and you have the ability to suspend a user. If you want to edit or add users, you need to go to the Organization section, then click on another user section there, which then gives you the ability to edit or add users.

The interface is the faster I've ever seen.

The competitor evaluation versions have ads or a lot of reminders that I've to pay now or then.

My company currently uses Hadoop for big data management, as well as ParAccel/Matrix databases for storing the data. The combo is fairly effective, and the only reason we are exploring ILM is because of our use of other Informatica products, and looking to build in either synergies between the technologies, or cost savings by bundling all our licensing through one vendor (Informatica)

• Tracking the usage of specific brackets of data across the entire organisation has now become possible.
• The team was already using PowerCenter. Therefore, using ILM was a very apt decision that allowed easier management of data at the organisation level.
