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.

This software is exactly what we needed but we did notice a power bi built being comparable. It depends on skill level and if you have access to Microsoft Power BI products. This software will get you there quicker. The results were similar in our use case.

Pros
  • 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
