In the second half of 2000, I participated in an extensive evaluation of ETL tools for a large data warehouse.
There were two main players at that time that we considered: DataStage, owned by Informix, and now part of Ascential software http://www.ascentialsoftware.com/products/datastage/ Informatica was the other. http://www.informatica.com/ We looked at some other tools, notably IBM's offerings and one other that I can't recall. They didn't make it to the hands on evaluation stage for a number of reasons. Informatica and DataStage both appeared to be excellent tools. Informatica clearly had a better interface, while DataStage had a top down methodology that we preferred. The strength of these tools IMO is that they allow a team to effectively organize and manage the ETL process and all of the code that goes with it. You can do the same thing without these tools, but it will more difficult to manage. Tom Cox may have something to add to this, as he was leading that evaluation. Tom?
