What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Informatica PowerCenter?

The licensing charges of the tool are expensive. I rate the product's price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price.

I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten. The price is very high, and it doesn't understand the market now.

Since the solution's cost is higher, I rate the pricing as a five out of ten. There are no extra expenses in addition to licensing costs.

The license model is CPU based.

The solution's licensing is expensive in terms of scaling.

The license is baased on the number of users and connectors. A medium-sized organization has few applications and connectors, whereas a massive organization needs many more licenses. It needs to connect all the enterprise business applications, like Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, etc.

I don't recall the exact cost o the solution. That said, it is one of the costliest products that one can have. They are costly ETL products. When it comes to Oracle, we have cheaper options since Oracle provides its ODI fee of cost if someone buys any of their modules for business intelligence. That is something that Informatica does not have. Still, if you have large data volumes and you do not want to be at risk for your daily loads, then it is worth the money.

The price could be better. It's very expensive. On a scale from one to five, I would give Informatica PowerCenter's price a one.

The product can be costly. Price can change according to negotiations, so it may be a bit flexible. However, a basic setup can be from $100,000 and up annually.

The solution is expensive.

Pricing for Informatica PowerCenter isn't cheap, but if I compare it with IBM, it's as expensive as IBM, however, Informatica PowerCenter is more innovative, especially when compared to a giant company such as IBM that has thousands of products. Informatica PowerCenter is limited only to data management, but it has new features that come out every quarter. Points for ease of use and flexibility go to Informatica PowerCenter, but price-wise, IBM and Informatica are equal because they're both expensive.

The pricing for Informatica PowerCenter is expensive. Some clients have simple needs and only want to integrate and store data. Some clients have small needs, while some clients have bigger needs and focus more on performance and time. The licensing cost for Informatica PowerCenter isn't good. In my project, if I remember correctly, the company pays €20,000 per year for the Informatica PowerCenter license. I'm not aware of additional costs that you need to pay for some features of the solution. On a scale of one to five, I'm rating its price a three.

The price of Informatica PowerCenter is expensive, but it does give value.

We are using an annual license for Informatica PowerCenter.

I would rate the pricing for this solution a six out of ten. The exact pricing depends on various products that you have. We have various Informatica products and it varies from automation to automation.

In terms of costs, it is moderately expensive, but I am unsure of the exact price. It would be good if Informatica PowerCenter incorporated free trails or learnings to help beginners use the solution. There should also be more campaigns similar to other ETL tools. My advice would be for Informatica to decrease the price. Generally, companies have more customers when prices are lower. So even if the company grows with a lower margin, the number of users would be higher, which would be beneficial.

I am not sure about the most recent price, but I think it should be $100,000 or more.

The pricing could be a bit better. For example, if you look at Snowflake, companies are thinking of innovative ways of reducing the price and then transferring the benefit to their customers.

Informatica PowerCenter is reasonably priced. It is less expensive than Pentaho. There is a standard version fee in Taiwan. It is a one-time yearly subscription price that is approximately $3,010 US dollars for three users.

The licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

The price is mostly reasonable.

It's quite expensive. Our customers pay a licensing fee yearly.

Compared to other tools, I think PowerCenter is a bit expensive. When I compare it to Oracle, if you want to use Oracle databases, you can easily get an ODI tool, so it's easier to handle. Informatica is a standalone tool—it's an independent company—and there are no databases around them, so it's quite expensive to use. Generally, large companies use PowerCenter because of the price. If companies want to expand their usage areas, they try to consider if it's easy to implement and easy to understand the pricing. I think the pricing is a barrier for Informatica.

We have a site license, but we do pay by the division.

The pricing is a little expensive, but in the same range as IBM and other competitors. There is not a big difference in pricing between its main competition. The pricing is mostly the same between other vendors.

I was unable to locate any pricing information on the website. I made an appointment to meet with a representative through the internet. According to what I've heard and read on various blogs, it's quite expensive when compared to similar competitive products. Based on what I've read, I believe the price can be customized.

Licensing costs are excessive and pose an obstacle to someone who lacks familiarity with the solution and wishes to have a proper understanding of it.

The solution is in the middle price range compared to other solutions. There are additional costs if you want other features. For example, more connectors or the use of other solutions, such as Snowflake.

Our client has purchased the license, and we are using it.

The price of this solution is high. With an interval of every couple of years, they upgrade to a new version and stop supporting the previous versions. At this point, you need to acquire a new license. If you are looking to add a new adapter then it will be more costly.

It is for big enterprises. We have leveraged Informatica for big enterprises but not for small and medium enterprises because it is a very costly product as compared to other products. We propose this solution only for enterprise customers. For small to medium enterprises, we would propose the Microsoft solution. Its licensing is currently bundle-wise. It should be features-wise and not bundle-wise.

I consider this to be an expensive product.

We are satisfied with the pricing. The licensing is on a yearly basis.

It's very expensive. We have other tools that are more reasonably priced. PowerCenter is very costly.

It's much more expensive, almost three times more expensive than most other solutions.

This is an expensive solution.

Its maintenance is expensive.

Price-wise, it's more expensive than SSIS, but it's a better tool, so it has more features. Licensing is on a yearly basis.

Licensing is a one time cost. But maintenance costs depend on what you want, how long you need it. Maintenance is a kind of insurance. With health insurance, you don't know whether you will get sick or need to go to hospital or not but you have to have insurance. It's the same thing with support. If you have that expertise in resolving issues, if you have enough experience in your IT department, I would say you don't need the support. But in practice, they recommend you go with the support. If you want support you have to pay for it.
