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."The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"I do a quite a lot of data transformations, and the fact that I can do them without changing any of my SQL queries from the code, using the inbuilt tools, is very helpful."
"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."
"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"The support is very good."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"The price modeling could be more flexible."
"The integration process is not easy."
"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready. They need to add more features, such as improved data replication features. If you look at other tools, such as Matillion they are now cloud-native and flexible. Additionally, Informatica Cloud Data Integration should have a good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"The main issue preventing Brazilian companies from migrating to Informatica Cloud Data Integration from on-prem is the price."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
