"The visualization is very good."
"Its scalability can be improved. It is not scalable."
"Compared to solutions offering similar functionalities, Informatica PowerCenter is not very flexible regarding customized integrations."
"Unstructured data handling is an important area with a shortcoming that needs improvement in the solution."
"There is some room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements made to the custom transformations. It should be more open for users that want to write their own code and use cases."
"Integrated Reporting service should be more smoothly transitioned from view to function to be in sync with the main design."
"The licensing is difficult."
"The performance could be better."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced."
"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."
"From the point of view of strategic management, I would like to have a feature, perhaps a form after we get to the KPI dashboard, to be used to note if something unusual happens in the operations. That way we could record extreme KPI situations, and track why a number is very low or too high."
"I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility."
"BI Server"
"Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support."
