Composite information server

[TEVAMANA]

Could anyone tell me what are the pros/cons of installing Composite information server ?

Tips to tune this service ?

Thanks you

Pros -- use it to pull WebServices as a datasource that DataManager can use to pull into databases.
Use it to pull WebServices as datasources for reports.

Cons!!!!-- Not entirely recommended for use with NTLM authentication.  This is killing us for talking to Sharepoint.  We made contact with Composite and they currently do not support NTLM authentication at this time.
