We use Infosphere Datastage to extract and load data into our Data Warehouse meant for Financials and Supply chain. We have about 400+ jobs that runs on a daily basis to load the data from various different sources. We have been using this product for many years and eventually support went to IBM. Oracle used to provide the support as we had implemented as part of Oracle PeopleSoft EPM and now it's moved over to IBM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only issue we had was we never got HA working with this product. Although we had shared storage but when there is a failure we had to manually fail over to the other node. We configured HA for this installation on an IBM AIX infrastructure and it never worked the way we wanted. It was not seamless but had to manually intervene for it to resume jobs for the other node. The cost of the tool and desire of the development staff to move to more Hive and MapReduce have limited the products use in the last year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
