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."I like the automated scheduling feature."
"Good product if you are trying implement data quality, data integration, and data management projects."
"It's very easy to use it to develop mappings and workflows."
"Among all the solutions I have used, I found Informatica PowerCenter to be much more stable in terms of application."
"One of the most valuable features for us is the metadata repository because it can easily understand the lineage of first target mapping. My company and I also find Informatica really easy to use—when a consultant joins our company, in just a few days to a few weeks, they can understand how to use it—so we prefer to use this ETL tool."
"It is easy to use, and it is quick for developing things. It is fairly powerful, and it can integrate with a lot of different platforms without much hassle."
"It's a complete package, which is why we use this solution."
"Complex transformations can be easily achieved by using PowerCenter. The processing layer does transformations and other things. About 80% of my transformations can be achieved by using the middle layer. For the remaining 15% to 20% transformations, I can go in and create stored procedures in the respective databases. Mapplets is the feature through which we can reuse transformations across pipelines. Transformations and caching are the key features that we have been using frequently. Informatica PowerCenter is one of the best solutions or products in the data integration space. We have extensively used PowerCenter for integration purposes. We usually look at the best bridge solution in our architecture so that it can sustain for maybe a couple of years. Usually, we go with the solution that fits best and has proven and time-tested technology."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"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."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"I found it is kind of weird that not all of the mapping changes are treated as true changes."
"The UI is a little outdated."
"Its scalability can be improved. It is not scalable."
"Requires an established data center because there is no option for software as a service."
"Informatica, in my opinion, is very rigid and not very flexible, whereas platforms like Alteryx or Matillion are very flexible and agile."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
"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."
"The performance of Informatica PowerCenter could improve."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"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."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
