We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerCenter and Jitterbit Harmony based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"The most valuable aspects of Informatica PowerCenter are the many features, ease of use, and user-friendliness."
"It's a very powerful tool you can use to load data, get data, do the drawing between the tables, and put into the packet in a very fast way."
"The number of docs has been reduced drastically, which is very good."
"The technical support for Informatica PowerCenter is good."
"The most valuable features are the dynamic reading of the file metadata profile, and the ability to define business rules that are used to verify and validate the uploaded files."
"The partitioning and optimization to help enhance our development is a very valuable aspect of Informatica PowerCenter."
"It is very comprehensive in terms of connector and transformation capabilities from both a source and target perspective."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"It is a scalable solution."
"What I didn't like about it is that the platform itself is not great at distributed processing. When you need high parallel processing, it has some inherent issues. We had to use Java transformation, and it did not go very well. I have heard that it is going to the cloud, but we haven't tried that."
"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."
"It would be good to recreate the entire interface to make it easier for users to build workflows."
"We had to take on a large volume of data from the legacy Sybase system. This was taking a very long time, i.e., more than a day. We were trying to improve it with partitions to gpload, but we were told that we can't go more than four partitions."
"We had stability issues, mostly with JVM size."
"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."
"I would like to see an improvement in the digital adoption."
"We need another tool for monitoring. It would be easier if all the features were consolidated into one tool."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
