About

What is CoSort? IRI CoSort® is a fast, affordable, and easy-to-use sort/merge/report utility, and a full-featured data transformation and preparation package. The world's first sort product off the mainframe, CoSort continues to deliver maximum price-performance and functional versatility for the manipulation and blending of big data sources. CoSort also powers the IRI Voracity data management platform and many third-party tools. What does CoSort do? CoSort runs multi-threaded sort/merge jobs AND many other high-volume (big data) manipulations separately, or in combination. It can also cleanse, mask, convert, and report at the same time. Self-documenting 4GL scripts supported in Eclipse™ help you speed or leave legacy: sort, ETL and BI tools; COBOL and SQL programs, plus Hadoop, Perl, Python, and other batch jobs. Use CoSort to sort, join, aggregate, and load 2-20X faster than data wrangling and BI tools, 10x faster than SQL transforms, and 6x faster than most ETL tools.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Ease of use and Features. Easy to setup, integrate, and get started quickly Less maintenance Out of the box CI/CD integration with Git Easy to learn.
  • - Credential and version management is offloaded to the cloud - Simple-to-use orchestration - Seamless state management - Integrated documentation and lineage - Collaborative development experience - Native CI/CD integration - Centralized logging and observability - Enterprise-grade access control and auditability - Easy environment management - Rapid onboarding for new users
  • We use dbt for our data transformations. It's been a game changer from a Data Engineering and Analytics Engineering standpoint. It has accelerated our migration from legacy systems and made our pipelines 80% faster. We have increased visibility in our projects, a catalog and many other data quality indicators.
  • dbt has been one of the most transformative tools in my data career. It gives teams a clean, maintainable way to translate business logic into reliable, production-grade data models. It standardizes the entire development lifecycle — modeling, testing, documentation, version control, CI/CD, and lineage — in a way that allows analytics engineers and data engineers to work with clarity and confidence. It’s the backbone of our governed analytics strategy. Exceptional developer workflow: Modular SQL, version control, built-in testing, documentation, and macros allow us to scale complex business logic with consistency and reliability. Scales with organizational change: dbt has allowed us to redesign core product and customer analytics with patterns that are resilient to future product launches and schema changes.

Cons

  • Limited product Usage metrics. Product usage insights/Metrics can be better. Metrics around AI usage by developers with in the product will help.
  • - Individual capabilities are not as robust as dedicated tools. for example, orchestration is simple to use but lacks the flexibility, customization, and advanced scheduling logic of dedicated orchestrators
  • I think that the pricing model can easily become a barrier. The cost per model run is a terrible bottleneck for us and affects our capacity to architect following best practices.
  • dbt IDE could be more flexible with Git operations. Advanced users would benefit from features like git stash, more granular branch management, and better conflict-resolution tools directly in the IDE. This would remove friction during rapid iteration or when working across multiple branches. More built-in patterns for complex incremental modeling would be helpful for teams dealing with very high data volumes and dynamic product schemas.
