We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerCenter and Oracle OBIEE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The most complex task, in this case, was to read and transform BLOB data, and Java transformation in Informatica Power Center was a great solution."
"We have found the PowerCenter and B2B data transformation most valuable."
"The ability to scale through partitions helped us to improve the performance."
"Among all the solutions I have used, I found Informatica PowerCenter to be much more stable in terms of application."
"Good product if you are trying implement data quality, data integration, and data management projects."
"I would recommend that others considering the solution go ahead and use it for any batch and high volume loads with complex transactions."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring tools and the reporting manager."
"Easy, scalable, robust platform to integrate heterogeneous source platform's data into the unified data warehouse."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"A great feature of the solution is its stability."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."
"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."
"I like the architecture of this solution. RPV is a powerful feature in Oracle OBIEE. It lets us design as per the needs of the organization. I can have multiple presentation folders and presentation layers. I can have customization in a single node in VMware, which is a very good feature of Oracle OBIEE. It helps customers in designing as per their requirements."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE, for me, would be the Web Catalog. From a development perspective, I do not need any client or any software to be installed on my laptop or desktop. Everything is browser-based, so I just open the browser and start development."
"The centralized metadata model component is most valuable."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Integrating new tools can be tricky and challenging."
"Integration with Artificial Intelligence would benefit this solution."
"While Informatica is great for data-integration, it does not have any analytics features. Thus, organizations have to always look for another product for their BI needs."
"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 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."
"Integrated Reporting service should be more smoothly transitioned from view to function to be in sync with the main design."
"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."
"Oracle OBIEE only displays KPIs, but it does not include strategic objectives or display risk in a strategic map."
"Its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good."
"The ability to migrate from one version to another, such as doing so from version 11 to an upgraded 12 of Oracle business environment, can be difficult."
"It should have more self-service capabilities."
"When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails."
"This solution is weak in the data science perspective. I have past data science experience. And, I find that there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of incorporating more advanced statistical modeling into the product."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility."
