"The most valuable feature of Alteryx Designer is its ability to select all the inputs and formulas."
"Alteryx Designer's user interface is great, as it is very user-friendly."
"It has great UI."
"The product is very stable. The performance is reliable."
"One of the things I like about Alteryx Designer is how easy it is to connect numerous data inputs, including API connectors. This helps tremendously in reducing the time required to extract data from systems like SAP that don't have straightforward connectivity options."
"Alteryx Designer is stable."
"Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"The solution has the best feature for parameterization."
"I do a quite a lot of data transformations, and the fact that I can do them without changing any of my SQL queries from the code, using the inbuilt tools, is very helpful."
"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."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"The major concern in Alteryx Designer stems from the high costs attached to the product."
"The product could offer more connectors and more databases with support for the in-database function."
"We need more documentation."
"The conditional join feature should be improved."
"Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly."
"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"When it comes to the pivoting part, the drill-through option is not there in Alteryx."
"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."
"The price modeling could be more flexible."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"The regions in which the data resides are still limited. This could be an issue in terms of the data residency laws of some of the countries. They should get more regions."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready. They need to add more features, such as improved data replication features. If you look at other tools, such as Matillion they are now cloud-native and flexible. Additionally, Informatica Cloud Data Integration should have a good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"There is room for improvement at the highest level in terms of useability and connectors for various types of new applications. The row processing performance could be better because you experience some latency dealing with high volumes of data. Most organizations will be dealing with multiple cloud applications, so you could see performance issues moving from one system to another."
