We performed a comparison between Informatica Cloud Data Integration and TIBCO Spotfire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"The Mapping Designer allows for declarative ETL development (visual scripting) that leverages a wide array of different transformations."
"Data synchronization tasks."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"Their new licensing is very flexible. With Informatica Cloud, you have plenty of items under the same umbrella, such as services, offerings, data quality, and data masking. You have also got master data management and API management. What I really like about them is that you don't need to go to Informatica and say that you need a data integration module. You would say that you need iPaaS or Informatica Cloud. They'll then try to understand your needs and give you IPUs, which are the processing units. If I purchased a hundred IPUs from Informatica as a customer, I can use 70 IPUs for data integration. I would also need data quality, so I can use 10 IPUs for data quality. I can use the remaining 20 IPUs for API management. Down the line, if I see that my initial data integration needs for the development phase are met, then out of the 70 IPUs assigned for data integration, I can use 30 IPUs for data masking. I can shuffle these numbers in any way within the Informatica Cloud umbrella for the tenure for which I have subscribed to these IPUs. I can use all services the way I want. This flexibility is what I really love about Informatica. It also has got good connectors."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."
"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"It could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."
"User/group administration could use improvement."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"The solution might be generic."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."
"The data compression has room for improvement."
"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."
"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
"When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation."
