Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Informatica PowerCenter are the ease of use, and development, and is simple to find resources."
"The most valuable feature is the new Data Lake feature, which provides the basic capabilities needed."
"Deployment was simple and straightforward."
"Once you have learned Informatica, it is very easy to use."
"Has a good visual tool for data mapping."
"To me, what's most valuable in Informatica PowerCenter is the flexibility in building the integration pipeline. Usually, you need to have a platform to be able to integrate with different technologies, including legacy data such as the mainframe. The platform should also be rich enough to transform the data per your business requirement, with no restrictions. Rich integration and rich transformation capabilities are the two key capabilities in Informatica PowerCenter. The solution also offers ease of use. Another valuable feature of Informatica PowerCenter is the drag-and-drop integration because it's GUI-based, similar to IBM and Oracle."
"Informatica PowerCenter has good user feedback. The developers can easily make mappings in the solution."
"The technical support for Informatica PowerCenter is good."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"We really like that it's user friendly and has a lot of combinations and charts. They're good compared to other tools. We used a free Elastic product, comparatively, this solution is good because of their support, UI, and connecting to databases is very easy."
"I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"The licensing cost for Informatica is very high. Other all-in-one solutions have much lower prices than Informatica."
"They should release new versions for the solution's on-premises setup."
"Its licensing can be improved. It should be features-wise and not bundle-wise. A bundle will definitely be costly. In addition, we might use one or two features. That's why the pricing model should be based on the features. The model should be flexible enough based on the features. Their support should also be more responsive to premium customers."
"The performance of Informatica PowerCenter could improve."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve by having a single interface because half of the system is still in the legacy interface and many other elements are moved to the developer client. It would be good if there was a single interface for the end user and developers."
"Some of the conversions are done inside the product. We use work tables that are created by the engine itself, but the names of the work tables are very long, and they don't have any meaning, which makes it a bit difficult to understand and follow exactly what is happening inside."
"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."
"An issue which should be addressed is that the solution only allows us to do structured, as opposed to unstructured, data processing."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures."
