IBM Cloud Pak for Data vs. IBM InfoSphere Information Server

Unlike others analytics tool IBM Cloud Pak for Data provides out-of-the-box privacy, model interpretability and fairness monitoring, along with automatic explanation of data and models written in business language. It's a great tool that all business should emulate. Great user experience because of every feature is functional and improved constantly.

• It is very strong to make transformations/data derivations
• It is very easy to connect to various external data sources. It has an interface (stages) for each connection that simplifies the task
• It is a stable platform. And that parallelism helps make it fast for loading, if the process is well designed

• It is complex; The platform comes with several features from MLOPs to Customer 360 which may take a long time for the user to understand.

I particularly believe that Information Server, especially DataStage, is superior in many aspects to the Oracle Data Integrator tool. Several market analysts such as Gartner and / or Forrester better position DataStage on the Oracle solution.

• can improve readiness for cloud migration, improve licensing flexibility with IBM, and reduce both hardware purchases and infrastructure management efforts.
• reduces the expenses of internal resources.
• should improve efficiencies, reduce risks, and increase performance

• Information Server can positively impact the costs of companies by increasing the productivity of development and therefore reduce their time and costs. It is estimated that DataStage can increase a developer's productivity by 40% on average.
• Better data governance
• Improve data quality and reduce bad data impacts
