"As a connector to big data, it is not well developed. We've had problems connecting Informatica with Hadoop. The functionality to connect Informatica with Hadoop, for me it's not good."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve on the documentation for the implementation. The documents provided are not very good for a new user."
"Compared to solutions offering similar functionalities, Informatica PowerCenter is not very flexible regarding customized integrations."
"The solution's commercial cost is very high. Other open-source tools can do the tool's functions for free. The world is moving to the cloud, but the solution hasn't updated its drivers. I presume that its downfall will start soon. The tool is trying to cross-sell or upsell without helping customers derive benefits from the existing products. They have multiple tools and licenses. It is better to bring the smaller tools in one umbrella."
"Microsoft's technical support has decreased in quality over the last few years, becoming less responsive and tending to pass problems on instead of solving them."
"The debugging could be improved because when it came to solving the errors that I've experienced in the past, I've had to look at the documentation for more information."
"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."
"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."
"Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good."
"I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory."
"SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
"The solution needs to be scalable."
"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."
"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."
"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."
