We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerCenter and Mule Anypoint Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."If the systems get migrated or upgraded, the amount of resources required are very minimal. We can change the connections and establish a new connection. It's very helpful."
"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."
"Can manage a huge quantity of data and provide reliability."
"It has very good monitoring and process monitoring."
"We use Informatica PowerCenter to transfer the transitional database to and from the data warehouse. This is very efficient as it enables us to quickly find our data reports and the data, so we can build AI models."
"The interface is very clean and clear."
"We have found the PowerCenter and B2B data transformation most valuable."
"I like the completeness of the way I can build ETL workflows."
"The tool's visual features are attractive."
"The most valuable features for us are flexibility, all the features related to connectivity with multiple connectors to the business, and the flexibility of on-premises and cloud deployments."
"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."
"The exchange and API management features are the best in the market."
"This is the easiest and best tool available."
"The solution's deployment and proxy processes are very good."
"The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great."
"The community manager is the standout feature of the Mule Anypoint Platform, as it provides a platform to showcase your API to external parties. It is exceptionally user-friendly and enables external parties to easily utilize and consume the APIs."
"The solution must improve the integration with new services."
"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."
"PowerCenter could be improved by having more big data components. Normally, we prefer Informatica as a relational database, but nowadays, companies are trying to understand and use big data components. I think it would be useful if we had more chances to create a hub ecosystem because customers try to use some data integration tasks by SQL, Spark and Spark codes, and Scala, but at the end of the day, the company will understand that we need to trace all the steps. An ETL tool is a must for that company, if we're talking about the regulated industries like finance, telcos, etc. If Informatica's biggest ecosystems feature were okay, I would prefer to use it."
"It would be good to recreate the entire interface to make it easier for users to build workflows."
"Its scalability can be improved. It is not scalable."
"The documentation could be improved."
"Support could be better."
"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."
"Technical support needs to be improved, especially when you need help with more technical aspects of the solution."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
"I would like to see some data integration and automation."
"What I hear from my customers is that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites. The cost keeps increasing. MuleSoft should come up with customization factors by using a different way of getting the cost-related stuff to attract customers. That is, they should come up with some cost optimizations."
"It doesn't work well when you try using it for the processing layer."
"It should give better control over account management."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"The platform's data integration tools need improvement on the processing side."
