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

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.

The alert also shows Metabase reporting assets that depend on the table with the failing test.Screenshot of Lineage page: Shows dependencies between the warehouse and Business Intelligence tools. Migrate data with confidence when you can see what reporting assets depend on it.Screenshot of Custom SQL Tests: Tailor tests to your data and objectives by writing SQL queries.
