"We have found the PowerCenter and B2B data transformation most valuable."
"One of the most valuable features for us is the metadata repository because it can easily understand the lineage of first target mapping. My company and I also find Informatica really easy to use—when a consultant joins our company, in just a few days to a few weeks, they can understand how to use it—so we prefer to use this ETL tool."
"I like the automated scheduling feature."
"Informatica PowerCenter has good user feedback. The developers can easily make mappings in the solution."
"What I like most about Informatica PowerCenter is that it's the best tool in the market for data integration. Currently, I work in L'Oréal, where a new system from SAP is used. Informatica PowerCenter integration with SAP is very, very fast and very, very simple, so you have the server flow from SAP, and through Informatica PowerCenter, you can ingest the data and make that data available for the business more quickly."
"It provides everything I need. Nothing is missing. PowerCenter is a good tool for on-premise databases."

"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."

"If we could have the option of performance improvement within Informatica, and if it could have more features, that would be ideal."
"I found it is kind of weird that not all of the mapping changes are treated as true changes."

"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
