"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"The data mapping capability is a valuable feature."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"Data synchronization tasks."
"The program is stable and scalable."

"It has helped us monetize."
"It reduces a lot of legacy coding."
"It is UI friendly and has all the advantages of an ETL tool."
"Good interface, reasonable documentation."
"The partitioning and optimization to help enhance our development is a very valuable aspect of Informatica PowerCenter."
"Among all the solutions I have used, I found Informatica PowerCenter to be much more stable in terms of application."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process."
"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"Its pricing model can be improved. The response time from technical support can also be improved."
"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready. They need to add more features, such as improved data replication features. If you look at other tools, such as Matillion they are now cloud-native and flexible. Additionally, Informatica Cloud Data Integration should have a good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"I would like to see it be able to import data from NoSQL."
"Its scalability can be improved. It is not scalable."
"There is some room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"What needs improvement in Informatica PowerCenter is the cloud experience because, nowadays, other companies, such as AWS, Azure, and Google, have more experience in the cloud. The pricing for Informatica PowerCenter on the cloud is also very expensive for customers, so some customers prefer open-source tools or lower-priced tools, such as Azure. From my point of view, Informatica must work on the pricing policy and review the policy on the cloud for Informatica PowerCenter or propose more tools with lower pricing. Clients want the automatic integration of Informatica PowerCenter with other tools. Currently, the integration process is manual, and you have to add other tools to facilitate the integration, especially with the DevOps methodology. You need scripts and tools for the integration, and you'll need to use other integration tools if you want automatic deployment for Informatica PowerCenter, so this is another area for improvement in the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for the integration with APIs to be simpler, because currently, the API integration feature of Informatica PowerCenter is very difficult. It's not intuitive. You have to facilitate API integration and the real-time streaming of messages in Kafka, for example, so that should be improved."
"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 price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, considering the fact that the present licensing charges of the tool are expensive."
"While Informatica is great for data-integration, it does not have any analytics features. Thus, organizations have to always look for another product for their BI needs."
"The UI is outdated and old-fashioned, at least in our current version. Also, we have experienced some stability issues with the Workflow Monitor application."
