Ab Initio vs Informatica for ETL

Ab Initio benefits: parallelism built in, mulitifile system, handles huge amounts of data, easy to build and run. Generates scripts which can be easily modifiedas needed )if something couldn't be done in ETL tool itself). The scripts can be easily scheduled using any external scheduler - and easily integrated with other systems.

Ab Initio doesn't require a dedicated administrator.

Ab Initio doesn't have built-in CDC capabilities (CDC = Change Data Capture).

Ab Initio allows to (attach error / reject files) to each transformation and capture and analyze the message and data separately (as opposed to Informatica which has just one huge log). Ab Initio provides immediate metrics for each component.
