IBM InfoSphere Information Server vs. Salesforce Data Cloud

Information Server is extremely useful to replace manual developments that require a lot of coding effort. It significantly increases the productivity of the initial development and the future maintenance of the processes since it has a visual development environment with self-documentation.

I would recommend Salesforce Data Cloud as an 8 because it is great for keeping track of customer and sale information, it is easy to use, it is easy to generate reports and it is user friendly. However, it is very expensive and does not integrate with other CRMs well

I would rate Salesforce Data Cloud's usability a 9 because I do think it is very easy to use. You can easily create new contacts, add notes to contacts, add house information, generate reports, create workflows, etc. You can even have it schedule marketing emails to customers to auto send an email for holidays like Christmas, New Years, etc. It is very user friendly and helps to create a nice customer journey with it all in once place.

DataStage is more robust and stable than ODI The ability to perform complex transformations or implement business rules is much more developed in DS

They are quite similar but it was a decision made amongst other stakeholders as well so I can’t justify the reason from my own department but as I understand salesforce allows better integration and since our CRM is already on salesforce it makes sense for us to unify at all.
