"Good product if you are trying implement data quality, data integration, and data management projects."
"Easy, scalable, robust platform to integrate heterogeneous source platform's data into the unified data warehouse."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring tools and the reporting manager."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Lake's setup process was complex since it doesn't support a lot of real-time systems."
"If we could have the option of performance improvement within Informatica, and if it could have more features, that would be ideal."
"We had stability issues, mostly with JVM size."
"If you want to transfer a ZIP file, it is a pain. You need to use Command-Line. Sometimes we just want to transfer a file. It should be easy to move them from A to B."
"We need another tool for monitoring. It would be easier if all the features were consolidated into one tool."
"Some of the conversions are done inside the product. We use work tables that are created by the engine itself, but the names of the work tables are very long, and they don't have any meaning, which makes it a bit difficult to understand and follow exactly what is happening inside."
"Informatica are very rigid when it comes to cloud migrations which discourages customers in moving their solution to the cloud."
"Now they are migrating to a new version, and they have something that is called Informatica Developer. Previously, they just had PowerCenter. Now, when they move everything to Informatica Developer it's not as good or stable like it was when it was PowerCenter, though it has some nice features. This Developer tool could be better."
"The solution could have better documentation on basic steps or blocks that specify what to do."
