We performed a comparison between Informatica Data Integration Hub 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."Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly."
"The technical support services are good."
"The MDM solution is capable of integrating multiple systems, so it helped us to solve the purpose of centralizing the depository as well as the standardization of mass data. It takes away all the ambiguity around data integrity issues or all the process challenges which happen when every stage of a process uses a different source as master data."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring tools and the reporting manager."
"Ease and speed of building integrations, especially integrations between different applications, such as our Hospital Information System."
"We use Informatica PowerCenter to transfer the transitional database to and from the data warehouse. This is very efficient as it enables us to quickly find our data reports and the data, so we can build AI models."
"Among all the solutions I have used, I found Informatica PowerCenter to be much more stable in terms of application."
"The setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Informatica PowerCenter are the ease of use, and development, and is simple to find resources."
"In the end, you have structured, proper data for use in an integrated BI solution."
"The greatest feature is that it is very easy to have someone come in and jump right in. It is one of the nicest tools in terms of getting a person acquainted quickly."
"They could provide more robust performance for data integration processes. It would help in improving the data quality more efficiently."
"The initial setup was not very straightforward. Not complex, but not very simple either."
"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions."
"Integrated Reporting service should be more smoothly transitioned from view to function to be in sync with the main design."
"We need another tool for monitoring. It would be easier if all the features were consolidated into one tool."
"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."
"Integrating new tools can be tricky and challenging."
"This product is going to decommission in the next couple of years."
"Areas for improvement in Informatica PowerCenter include scalability and high availability or the clustering configuration because that's still very basic. The elasticity or scaling of the platform needs a lot of improvement. For example, when it comes to DR handling or building an active-active or active-passive cluster, Informatica PowerCenter is still not that powerful. Automation also needs improvement in the solution. Improving automation leads to some improvement in the stability of Informatica PowerCenter and other aspects related to it. What I'd like to see in the next release of Informatica PowerCenter is real-time capability because the solution is mainly for patches, and to have real-time integration, you need to count on some additional components from Informatica. I would expect more integration and a complete platform in terms of real-time capability or patching with minimal interventions or minimal components to be aligned together."
"It should be more cloud-centric than on-prem-centric."
"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."
