“Product Offers AI-Assisted Debugging and Job Generation With Migration Support”

4.0
Mar 26, 2026
We are currently on a prior version of the product, but IBM brought a team in to give an overview, train and provide a more detailed explanation of the product as well as how we specifically can migrate to the modern product. They answered several questions that we had regarding the newer product and support concerns.

CRITICAL

“Good technology, poor customer service.”

2.0
Apr 13, 2018
While I'm sure the technology is sound, the customer service leaves something to be desired. It took over a month to get in touch with someone to schedule service, and it felt as though there was incredibly poor communication within the company.

IBM watsonx.data integration Likes & Dislikes

Like

AI-generated jobs based on simple descriptions provided by the user. AI-assisted debugging of issues. Various improvements over WebSphere/DataStage.

Like

It's a good product - truly. IBM was very lax on their terms of payment as well.

Like

Easy to use Good technical support Accepted by customers

Dislike

It appears there may be added maintenance or responsibility for adding/maintaining meta data about columns/tables that will be searched by the AI to generate jobs based on common language. I am not certain that this is the case, though. Another drawback may be cost, but it's not unexpected. Loss of support for predecessor product. Functionality to directly query statistics and other metadata about jobs/pipelines has been somewhat deprecated.

Dislike

The good qualities only barely outweigh the nightmare that was contacting and scheduling the initial installation team.

Dislike

Sometimes complex to configure Higher costs than manual coding

    We are using IBM watsonx.data integration to integrate all kinds of data into our Aviation Data Hub. The pipelines should be robust and easy to support remotely. IBM watsonx.data integration supports us in this challenge with a low-code solution to reduce our own effort in programming.

    Purpose-built turn key solution to move data quickly and at scale.

    5.0
    Nov 29, 2021
    Turn key solution that moves data quickly and efficiently. Low latency allows for sensitive applications to be built at scale. The software did not fit our immediate needs--the IBM team was exceptionally accommodating to alter and build upon the product to meet our success criteria.
