"Provides various ways to secure services as well as providing extensive support."
"People are able to scale up, learn it quickly, and start delivering."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service integrates well and is user-friendly. If you are not a developer or ops engineer you can still use the solution with ease. You do not need to have developers' knowledge, you can easily adapt and learn quickly to integrate the services. They have good documentation."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It's very easy to get started on the solution. It's also easy to maintain, scale, and integrate according to cost factors."
"The lack of features in something like Oracle Integration Cloud leaves some room for leads implementation partners like us"
"The solution is scalable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"This solution needs the functionality to do batch processing of data. It also lacks connectivity to NoSQL, unstructured data sources."
"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."
"Support could be better."
"Compared to solutions offering similar functionalities, Informatica PowerCenter is not very flexible regarding customized integrations."
"It should be more cloud-centric than on-prem-centric."
"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."
"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."
"The real-time database connectivity when getting the real-time data using the VPN is an area that needs improvement."
"While most of the adapters are available through Oracle Integration Cloud Services, they do not have a lot of features. I would like to see some enrichment in this area and for the solution to go deeper into the applications and upgrade the adapters."
"It would be helpful if there were more tutorials or documentation to learn about Oracle Integration Cloud Service."
"We would love to have more and more ready-to-use interfaces from Oracle."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service can improve file handling. Currently, our real-time file polling limitation is 10 MB, if that size can be increased it would be helpful. For example, increasing the size from 10 MB to 1 GB."
"Sometimes, the tech support is slow to get back to us. We have had to wait up to two weeks for a response."
"Configurable timeouts on each connection would be good."
"The support and resources were lacking — they weren't there."
"Our client was quite concerned about the cost, which is something that could be reduced."
