IBM InfoSphere Information Server vs. Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management (OEMM)

You can use infosphere: -If you have multiple targets and source systems and they are different than each other. -If your infostructure is so big and unplaned well so you can't find what you want to see. -If your databases not so strong to process your data

Oracle Enterprise Data Management has allowed us to share information with other departments, in this way we can unite the marketing department with the sales department and ensure that the projects that are generated attend to the data that each one throws up. It has also allowed us to integrate the data and contributes to collaborative work, this has satisfactorily reduced customer refusals in the face of possible cost increases.

• 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

• I like that I can allocate the information according to a catalog or a categorization.
• The system has enough ability to do data analysis without problems.

Incentivized

• Lack of a strong web development environment.
• Metadata propagation in Jobs is somewhat complex.
• The possibility to develop jobs in Parallel and/or Server Engines is confusing.

• Steep learning curve compared to other applications
• The UI can be finicky, certain actions cause the application to glitch or cause issues
• Occasionally laggy/slow to respond

• Scale of implementation
• IBM techsupport

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.

We researched Alex Solutions in addition to Oracle Metadata Management, and although there were comparable price points, features, and capabilities, we ultimately decided to go with Oracle because we use Oracle for our LMS. The integration was seamless and provided a way to get things up and running quickly. We haven’t had any major issues or concerns that have caused us to question that decision at this time.

• 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

• EDM is not a good ROI for a single application in the Oracle Cloud.
• EDM is a good ROI for when you have multiple applications in Oracle Cloud.
• EDM is not a good ROI if you have more then 5K unique members as it get very costly.
