Ab Initio was the first of the parallel ETL tools and on scalable performance it is hard to beat. The main difference is that DataStage parallel is now more widely used, has easier access to training and documentation and online help and better integration with related data integration products. Informatica and DataStage are equally good. Data Integrator has some parallel functions but I don't think it has the breadth of parallel architecture and functionality that DataStage has.

sateeshbabu,

This is not that much easy to compare the two applications(Tools) unless one should have vast real experience on the different tools.
According to me, Datastage is a bit better than Informatica on the aspects the way they provides features, functionality, debugging, performance. But both the tools are doing very good in the industry.
