Pros

  • 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

Alternatives Considered
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.

It was not the best-evaluated tool in technical terms, the best evaluation is with Collibra, but the support and price offered surpassed Collibra, which is not supported in Brazil, so the choice of Informatica was more due to the support and price of the than for tool quality. It ends up meeting the basics of governance, but it's not good for privacy management.
