Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the monitoring tools and the reporting manager."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica PowerCenter is data transformation and user-friendliness."
"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."
"I would recommend that others considering the solution go ahead and use it for any batch and high volume loads with complex transactions."
"Ease and speed of building integrations, especially integrations between different applications, such as our Hospital Information System."
"UI-based ability to create data mapping."
"The most valuable feature is the new Data Lake feature, which provides the basic capabilities needed."
"Enterprise-scale ETL solution that's very stable and is easy to scale. It integrates and connects with multiple new systems, both structured and semi-structured."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"Its interface can be modernized. It is an old product. I have been working with it for 14 years, and it still looks the same. It hasn't been modernized much. It also needs to handle more modern formats, such as JSON files. It works with the old text files and databases, but it does not always work with the newer, modern stuff. You need to make your own programs to support that kind of stuff. Support is also a kind of difficult with Informatica. They don't do direct support and rely on using their distributors around the globe for support, which means that you kind of have to go through this layer of different companies before you get help."
"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."
"The solution's commercial cost is very high. Other open-source tools can do the tool's functions for free. The world is moving to the cloud, but the solution hasn't updated its drivers. I presume that its downfall will start soon. The tool is trying to cross-sell or upsell without helping customers derive benefits from the existing products. They have multiple tools and licenses. It is better to bring the smaller tools in one umbrella."
"Integration with Artificial Intelligence would benefit this solution."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
"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."
"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."
"Lacks ability to calculate cost of the product."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"It requires some maintenance."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
