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."No dependence on native language and ease of use."
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"In the end, you have structured, proper data for use in an integrated BI solution."
"It has very good monitoring and process monitoring."
"The most valuable aspects of Informatica PowerCenter are the many features, ease of use, and user-friendliness."
"Easy, scalable, robust platform to integrate heterogeneous source platform's data into the unified data warehouse."
"The most valuable feature is the new Data Lake feature, which provides the basic capabilities needed."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring tools and the reporting manager."
"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."
"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"Its documentation could be improved."
"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."
"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."
"While on-premises is a better product, we really need to move to the cloud and need the cloud to be as robust as this product."
"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."
"The developer tool documentation can be enhanced with a more clear explanation of each utility, accompanied by relevant examples, so that developers are able to create programs with ease."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The initial setup is not straightforward. You need expertise to do it."
"The only problem with this product is the level of complexity with the number of levels of transformation that you have to go through."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve the data threshold for large sets of data. Additionally, they should add real-time integration."
