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 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 technical support services are good."
"Ease and speed of building integrations, especially integrations between different applications, such as our Hospital Information System."
"It provides everything I need. Nothing is missing. PowerCenter is a good tool for on-premise databases."
"I would recommend that others considering the solution go ahead and use it for any batch and high volume loads with complex transactions."
"The interface is very clean and clear."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica PowerCenter is data transformation and user-friendliness."
"UI-based ability to create data mapping."
"It reduces a lot of legacy coding."
"Technical support, and their approach is good. They have a support portal and support tickets. If you open a ticket it has multiple levels of severity from level one to very high or critical."
"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions."
"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."
"The performance of Informatica PowerCenter could improve."
"The solution must improve the integration with new services."
"I would like to see it be able to import data from NoSQL."
"There is a need to buy a separate license if one wishes to connect with some kind of SAP system, such as SalesForce."
"The real-time database connectivity when getting the real-time data using the VPN is an area that needs improvement."
"The only problem with this product is the level of complexity with the number of levels of transformation that you have to go through."
"What needs improvement in Informatica PowerCenter is the cloud experience because, nowadays, other companies, such as AWS, Azure, and Google, have more experience in the cloud. The pricing for Informatica PowerCenter on the cloud is also very expensive for customers, so some customers prefer open-source tools or lower-priced tools, such as Azure. From my point of view, Informatica must work on the pricing policy and review the policy on the cloud for Informatica PowerCenter or propose more tools with lower pricing. Clients want the automatic integration of Informatica PowerCenter with other tools. Currently, the integration process is manual, and you have to add other tools to facilitate the integration, especially with the DevOps methodology. You need scripts and tools for the integration, and you'll need to use other integration tools if you want automatic deployment for Informatica PowerCenter, so this is another area for improvement in the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for the integration with APIs to be simpler, because currently, the API integration feature of Informatica PowerCenter is very difficult. It's not intuitive. You have to facilitate API integration and the real-time streaming of messages in Kafka, for example, so that should be improved."
"It should be more cloud-centric than on-prem-centric."
