DI vs EG

The answer that always pops out my mind when someone asks me if we can use EG instead of DI Studio for ETL.

Better answered by Chris@SAS

"Here's what I tell people (and I'm in R&D remember, not marketing...):

Data Integration (or Master Data Management, or ETL, or whatever you call it...) is more than just using tools to manage data -- it's a discipline. The DataFlux and Data Integration Studio solutions from SAS support that discipline as part of their workflow.

EG supports many of the same activities associated with ETL, but doesn't facilitate the workflow often required for large scale data management."
