"The most valuable aspects of Informatica PowerCenter are the many features, ease of use, and user-friendliness."
"I would recommend that others considering the solution go ahead and use it for any batch and high volume loads with complex transactions."
"Informatica PowerCenter is very good for integrating a huge amount of data in a very short duration, such as a minute. It is also very easy to use. After you provide the source and the target, mappings are automatically done, which makes it easy to use for the development team."
"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."
"It is very comprehensive in terms of connector and transformation capabilities from both a source and target perspective."
"It has helped us monetize."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"The solution must improve the integration with new services."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
"The UI is outdated and old-fashioned, at least in our current version. Also, we have experienced some stability issues with the Workflow Monitor application."
"Integrating new tools can be tricky and challenging."
"The licensing cost for Informatica is very high. Other all-in-one solutions have much lower prices than Informatica."
"It would be good to recreate the entire interface to make it easier for users to build workflows."
"The multiple interfaces in Informatica PowerCenter are not great for the user experience. Because of this, I think it can cause confusion for any beginner developer."
"The solution's commercial cost is very high. Other open-source tools can do the tool's functions for free. The world is moving to the cloud, but the solution hasn't updated its drivers. I presume that its downfall will start soon. The tool is trying to cross-sell or upsell without helping customers derive benefits from the existing products. They have multiple tools and licenses. It is better to bring the smaller tools in one umbrella."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
