"It is UI friendly and has all the advantages of an ETL tool."
"It has good standard features for ETL development."
"The most valuable feature is the new Data Lake feature, which provides the basic capabilities needed."
"Informatica PowerCenter has been implementing mapping design, data flow, and workflow execution for years."
"If the systems get migrated or upgraded, the amount of resources required are very minimal. We can change the connections and establish a new connection. It's very helpful."
"The partitioning and optimization to help enhance our development is a very valuable aspect of Informatica PowerCenter."
"Ease and speed of building integrations, especially integrations between different applications, such as our Hospital Information System."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"The ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."
"The technical support services are good."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"The solution can scale."
"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"We had stability issues, mostly with JVM size."
"Integrating new tools can be tricky and challenging."
"I would like to see it be able to import data from NoSQL."
"PowerCenter has three clients. I wish they would consolidate everything into one GUI, not three. Also, we had a persistent issue with the Informatica Developer tool but it was solved when we migrated to the newest one."
"It would be nice to have all tools in one place. CDC needs more effort, as it's only easy to develop if you are familiar with Linux."
"I found it is kind of weird that not all of the mapping changes are treated as true changes."
"There is a need to buy a separate license if one wishes to connect with some kind of SAP system, such as SalesForce."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"The learning curve should be improved, and I'm uncertain if tutorials are readily available or easily accessible. We may have resorted to looking on YouTube for such information. Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer. Currently, it has standard visualizations. They've been adding new visualizations, but we see animated visualizations from other vendors. It would be nice to have similar visualizations, such as the swarming visualizations, which are fairly new and very popular at the moment. I haven't seen that with Oracle. That would be nice."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
