Ab Initio

1. Self-service capabilities, 2. Hands-on training material or videos, 3. Readily available Vendor Support Team to solve challenges.

The product offers a dependable and robust solution that ensures consistent performance. Its scalable architecture supports growing data volumes and evolving business needs without compromising efficiency. It provides a unified platform that seamlessly integrates various components, enabling streamlined workflows and simplified maintenance.

Component-based architecture makes it easy to build reusable logic and maintain consistency across graphs. It's a robust performance. Meaningful handling of high-volume data is done with minimum latency and excellent throughput. The control center and lineage tracking tools provide strong audit and monitoring capabilities. That is a must for our organization

Even though there are readily available training materials, I believe there is room for improvement in the said area. For example, we have current users which find the Tool's Interface difficult to grasp, henceforth, the learning curve is steeper. And a lack of wider community with required knowledge to help solve common problems is not easily accesible, therefore, we have a heavy reliance on the Vendor Support Team.

Complexity in set up and configuration, limited out-of-box rules, performance overhead, limited visualization.

The GDE environment is powerful but not intuitive for new users. Compared to other similar platforms, I do not see extensive or elaborate public documentation and user forums. Licensing and scaling can be expensive especially for smaller teams or for the ones where you are doing exploratory projects
