Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."Reusable definition of data sources and the out-of-the-box availability of a large number maplets for common transformation functions."
"It has very good monitoring and process monitoring."
"Deployment was simple and straightforward."
"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 performance and design of Informatica have been very valuable. I find the performance faster than, say, Oracle Data Integrator or DataStage."
"It's a complete package, which is why we use this solution."
"Among all the solutions I have used, I found Informatica PowerCenter to be much more stable in terms of application."
"The technical support is excellent."
"For me, it makes the difference is in terms of our users being able to take advantage of a product which allows you to get access to data, reports, make decisions quickly, and have better insights regarding operations."
"It's the connectors, the adapters. Built in connectors with different ERPs, you can plug in XL, other sources of data. It's very easy to configure. It's very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ease of use."
"The performance can issue queries to work in the Oracle database in Oracle's native language. There are a lot of visualizations which suit our business."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"The technical support services are good."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."
"Provides good data visualization features, and provides a lot of visualization reports from various data sources."
"The only problem with this product is the level of complexity with the number of levels of transformation that you have to go through."
"Integrated Reporting service should be more smoothly transitioned from view to function to be in sync with the main design."
"I would like to see it be able to import data from NoSQL."
"Requires an established data center because there is no option for software as a service."
"PowerCenter could be improved by having more big data components. Normally, we prefer Informatica as a relational database, but nowadays, companies are trying to understand and use big data components. I think it would be useful if we had more chances to create a hub ecosystem because customers try to use some data integration tasks by SQL, Spark and Spark codes, and Scala, but at the end of the day, the company will understand that we need to trace all the steps. An ETL tool is a must for that company, if we're talking about the regulated industries like finance, telcos, etc. If Informatica's biggest ecosystems feature were okay, I would prefer to use it."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, considering the fact that the present licensing charges of the tool are expensive."
"This solution needs the functionality to do batch processing of data. It also lacks connectivity to NoSQL, unstructured data sources."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve by having a single interface because half of the system is still in the legacy interface and many other elements are moved to the developer client. It would be good if there was a single interface for the end user and developers."
"Implementation is cumbersome and requires expertise."
"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"Particularly on the Cloud, a lot of functionality has yet to be ported."
"They should make the dashboard more intuitive."
"There are a lot of aspects of Oracle OBIEE that are exceptionally complicated, make things unnecessarily difficult for everyone who uses it. In terms of the integrations, Oracle needs to improve a little more, but I believe that they have tried to capture all those issues. The issues we are facing in the Oracle OBIEE 12C versions, in the Oracle Analytical Server Center or Analytical Cloud versions, Oracle has managed to overcome the challenges."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility."
