Best in class support, on the path to modernization
I am not an end-user of Ab Initio and cannot really speak to its capabilities as an ETL tool. I manage the infrastructure that delivers Ab Initio to our end-users so my perspective is only on those aspects which I touch. As far as managing installation and patching and maintaining the software, the processes are a bit legacy. However, one of the projects we're working with our support representatives is modernizing that, so that's definitely on their plates as something they're working on. But that's the main thing that makes Ab Initio so great is the relationship they maintain with us, which has been nothing but phenomenal the entire time I've been on the project and this is echoed by others who have been on the project much longer than me. Ab Initio truly makes us feel like a customer where most other vendors just don't.
