"We can scale the product."
"The most valuable aspects of Informatica PowerCenter are the many features, ease of use, and user-friendliness."
"Has a good visual tool for data mapping."
"Informatica PowerCenter has good user feedback. The developers can easily make mappings in the solution."
"Enterprise-scale ETL solution that's very stable and is easy to scale. It integrates and connects with multiple new systems, both structured and semi-structured."
"Once you have learned Informatica, it is very easy to use."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its stability and user-friendliness, making it easy to manage."
"The solution could have better documentation on basic steps or blocks that specify what to do."
"The solution's commercial cost is very high. Other open-source tools can do the tool's functions for free. The world is moving to the cloud, but the solution hasn't updated its drivers. I presume that its downfall will start soon. The tool is trying to cross-sell or upsell without helping customers derive benefits from the existing products. They have multiple tools and licenses. It is better to bring the smaller tools in one umbrella."
"An issue which should be addressed is that the solution only allows us to do structured, as opposed to unstructured, data processing."
"As a connector to big data, it is not well developed. We've had problems connecting Informatica with Hadoop. The functionality to connect Informatica with Hadoop, for me it's not good."
"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."
"PowerCenter has three clients. I wish they would consolidate everything into one GUI, not three. Also, we had a persistent issue with the Informatica Developer tool but it was solved when we migrated to the newest one."
"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."
"The product lacks the ability to manage universal connectivity, so it needs to be made better for users."
