We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerCenter and Zoho Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most complex task, in this case, was to read and transform BLOB data, and Java transformation in Informatica Power Center was a great solution."
"Informatica PowerCenter has been implementing mapping design, data flow, and workflow execution for years."
"It works with any multi-databases, so it works with Sybase, SQL Server. Also, the performance is really good and it is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the metadata repository and the data warehouse application console."
"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."
"It is UI friendly and has all the advantages of an ETL tool."
"The support is valuable. There are also open-source ETL products, which work very well, but there is no support. When we face a production problem, being able to get support is valuable, and it brings efficiency. With an open-source solution, we can't engage anyone to resolve the problem as quickly as possible."
"Technical support is great. It's one of the reasons we really like them. When you compare support from IBM and support from Informatica, Informatica is much better."
"We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool. Hence, we have three business use cases for IT support, sales and financials."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."
"I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau."
"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"We can create advanced-level reports with the tool. We can get data from different Zoho applications and also from other third-party applications. We can create schedules for syncing data from third parties to Zoho Analytics. We can also use table queries for getting data from more than one table."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"The UI is a little outdated."
"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."
"The reputation of Informatica is that it is expensive."
"I would like to see an improvement in the digital adoption."
"The solution could have better documentation on basic steps or blocks that specify what to do."
"The licensing cost for Informatica is very high. Other all-in-one solutions have much lower prices than Informatica."
"The solution must improve the integration with new services."
"Unstructured data handling is an important area with a shortcoming that needs improvement in the solution."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
