We performed a comparison between Domo and Informatica PowerCenter based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The dashboard is the most valuable feature and allows for customization to create and share reports."
"The user interface is quite good."
"The solution is highly stable."
"The ETL tools they have in Redshift are pretty awesome... I can work in Redshift to get the data from AWS and work in Redshift, in Domo, to create Transforms and the data structure we need..."
"The ease of use, overall, is one of the valuable features, as is the ease of setup. Other than making sure IT was aware of, and agreed with our proceeding, we did not need IT for any of the setup. The ease of setup is more valuable than you might think. The ease of configuring the security policies, setting up groups, and setting up personalized data permissions so that only certain people can see certain data — that stuff is amazing... Domo really is extraordinarily full-featured, but it's really easy to use."
"We have found securing data valuable because it allows us to provide information without identifying individuals."
"With ETL transformations in SQL lists, you often write a lot of queries. You have to build a bunch of code for the data. With Domo, one of the pieces we have is Magic ETL. In Magic ETL, you don't need to write code. You don't need to be a specialist in SQL or any database query language."
"It has the best GUI. And it already has an ETL tool embedded in it..."
"We have found the PowerCenter and B2B data transformation most valuable."
"The technical support for Informatica PowerCenter is good."
"Reusable definition of data sources and the out-of-the-box availability of a large number maplets for common transformation functions."
"The most valuable aspects of Informatica PowerCenter are the many features, ease of use, and user-friendliness."
"It works with any multi-databases, so it works with Sybase, SQL Server. Also, the performance is really good and it is easy to use."
"Good interface, reasonable documentation."
"In the end, you have structured, proper data for use in an integrated BI solution."
"The most valuable feature is the new Data Lake feature, which provides the basic capabilities needed."
"The forecasting feature, the regression features, and the Python libraries could all be improved. They're all in beta."
"If Domo had a Copilot feature, you could interact with the graphs and talk to the graphs and tables."
"One of the improvements that could be made is related to improved storage options."
"It's too early for me to say that something needs improvement, but there are times when there have been some flexibility issues with Domo... Tableau has a window function which can be integrated into a calculated field. That is missing in Domo so you have to make changes to the data set using ETL or SQL."
"Their STK is not up to date and you can't access it on their website. They have a private STK to access resources in Domo."
"They could use more charts. They have had a very limited number of charts we can use. I believe, now, there are somewhere around 30 of them, but they could definitely use some more options."
"Domo or any other BI tool has room for improvement, in particular, in the calculations. User-guided material isn't available for calculations. The tool, though user-friendly, could also be more customizable, especially when you're building a dashboard. Data integration could also be improved in Domo because even if the tool connects to multiple data sources, some hiccups still arise and need to be addressed."
"I would like to see better data intake."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve the data threshold for large sets of data. Additionally, they should add real-time integration."
"The solution can improve by providing more connectivity by having native ODBC or JDBC connections available. It will be easier and more people could start using it."
"Its interface can be modernized. It is an old product. I have been working with it for 14 years, and it still looks the same. It hasn't been modernized much. It also needs to handle more modern formats, such as JSON files. It works with the old text files and databases, but it does not always work with the newer, modern stuff. You need to make your own programs to support that kind of stuff. Support is also a kind of difficult with Informatica. They don't do direct support and rely on using their distributors around the globe for support, which means that you kind of have to go through this layer of different companies before you get help."
"We need another tool for monitoring. It would be easier if all the features were consolidated into one tool."
"Unstructured data handling is an important area with a shortcoming that needs improvement in the solution."
"Informatica are very rigid when it comes to cloud migrations which discourages customers in moving their solution to the cloud."
"Requires an established data center because there is no option for software as a service."
"It would be better if I could do all the work within a single window. If I'm working on any mapping and if I have to switch to sessions, I have to open a new window altogether. If I have to get into workflows, I have to open a new window. It was also very expensive. In the next release, I would like it to be more user-friendly."
