"The performance and design of Informatica have been very valuable. I find the performance faster than, say, Oracle Data Integrator or DataStage."
"The most valuable features are the metadata repository and the data warehouse application console."
"It's very easy to use it to develop mappings and workflows."
"Deployment was simple and straightforward."
"The ability to scale through partitions helped us to improve the performance."
"The setup is very simple."
"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."
"Good performance and reliability."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten…On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the initial setup a nine."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."

"Now they are migrating to a new version, and they have something that is called Informatica Developer. Previously, they just had PowerCenter. Now, when they move everything to Informatica Developer it's not as good or stable like it was when it was PowerCenter, though it has some nice features. This Developer tool could be better."
"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."
"The real-time database connectivity when getting the real-time data using the VPN is an area that needs improvement."
"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."
"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
