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."It's very easy to use it to develop mappings and workflows."
"It works with any multi-databases, so it works with Sybase, SQL Server. Also, the performance is really good and it is easy to use."
"In the end, you have structured, proper data for use in an integrated BI solution."
"It has very good monitoring and process monitoring."
"The setup is straightforward."
"It reduces a lot of legacy coding."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica PowerCenter is data transformation and user-friendliness."
"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."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"There are some great new features in the latest version."
"Oracle OBIEE is very easy to use. Looking at analytics, I think they have come a long way by adding new features like visualization, which is really cool."
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"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."
"It mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis."
"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 is easy to use...I rate the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve on the documentation for the implementation. The documents provided are not very good for a new user."
"The real-time database connectivity when getting the real-time data using the VPN is an area that needs improvement."
"It would be nice to have all tools in one place. CDC needs more effort, as it's only easy to develop if you are familiar with Linux."
"Areas for improvement in Informatica PowerCenter include scalability and high availability or the clustering configuration because that's still very basic. The elasticity or scaling of the platform needs a lot of improvement. For example, when it comes to DR handling or building an active-active or active-passive cluster, Informatica PowerCenter is still not that powerful. Automation also needs improvement in the solution. Improving automation leads to some improvement in the stability of Informatica PowerCenter and other aspects related to it. What I'd like to see in the next release of Informatica PowerCenter is real-time capability because the solution is mainly for patches, and to have real-time integration, you need to count on some additional components from Informatica. I would expect more integration and a complete platform in terms of real-time capability or patching with minimal interventions or minimal components to be aligned together."
"It would be better if I could do all the work within a single window. If I'm working on any mapping and if I have to switch to sessions, I have to open a new window altogether. If I have to get into workflows, I have to open a new window. It was also very expensive. In the next release, I would like it to be more user-friendly."
"Integrated Reporting service should be more smoothly transitioned from view to function to be in sync with the main design."
"An issue which should be addressed is that the solution only allows us to do structured, as opposed to unstructured, data processing."
"Warehouse and business intelligence are two different things, but OBIEE also has some warehouse features in it. I would like to see some of those capabilities improved."
"It should have more self-service capabilities."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"The solution is too expensive for small firms."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"The platform's data visualization features need improvement."
"There are times we have slowness when processing the reports with Oracle OBIEE. Improving the performance would be beneficial."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
