IBM InfoSphere Information Analyzer Reviews & Product Details

The tool allows a way to quickly summarize the data in a field to provide metrics that would be time consuming to obtain manually. It also gives a quick summary of the tables. This in opinion is the most useful feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that the software does not allow you to compare fields to truly profile data. Field in tables have dependencies and the software does not allow you to see this. You also cannot see all of the data in a table. It blocks different views of the data. This creates the need for a spreadsheet or querying tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration with the rest of the InfoSphere suite like IGC and Data Stage. Information analyzer moves the data quality responsibility closer to the data owners. It gives indviduals with not a lot of technical background the ability to take control of their data quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not all the functionality has been ported to the thin client. The thick client is very bulky and cumbersome. It is not very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I healthcare understanding the quality, content and structure of data is so important. We choose to leverage Information Analyzer as it helps with those critical business decisions. I love the fact that it utilizes reusable rules library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
