Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."Informatica PowerCenter is a very good ETL tool."
"Good interface, reasonable documentation."
"The features I find most valuable is that the solution is very user-friendly and the graphical design is very easy to understand."
"The partitioning and optimization to help enhance our development is a very valuable aspect of Informatica PowerCenter."
"The most valuable features are the metadata repository and the data warehouse application console."
"The most valuable features of Informatica PowerCenter are the ease of use, and development, and is simple to find resources."
"The performance and design of Informatica have been very valuable. I find the performance faster than, say, Oracle Data Integrator or DataStage."
"UI-based ability to create data mapping."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The best part of Kofax is that they have a whole concept. It's one product, but also has extra elements that can be integrated."
"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"The pricing of the solution is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."
"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."
"WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time."
"It has a built-in automatic scheduling environment."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"The UI is outdated and old-fashioned, at least in our current version.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."
"There can be scalability issues. Huge amounts of data ingestion will impact performance."
"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."
"It would be good to recreate the entire interface to make it easier for users to build workflows."
"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."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
"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."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve the data threshold for large sets of data. Additionally, they should add real-time integration."
"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."
"The technical support must be improved."
"Kofax RPA needs to improve integration with SAP and Microsoft. The professional services offered by the tool's team is below par. Its licensing needs to be more modular."
"Kofax RPA could improve web-based automation and there should be a choice of what browser we can use, such as Google Chrome, instead of an inbuilt browser from Kofax RPA. Additionally, Kofax RPA is missing an orchestrator that other solutions have, such as UiPath."
"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. They should work on the availability of its documentation. In Automation Anywhere, there is a feature called Discovery Bot that automatically records the process steps and suggests a possible bot. I am not sure if such a feature is available in Kofax. If it is not available, it will be very good to have this feature. "
"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."
"The product has some constraints and performance issues."
"The product needs more AI capabilities."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"Technical support isn't the best."
