Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."Easy, scalable, robust platform to integrate heterogeneous source platform's data into the unified data warehouse."
"The most valuable features of Informatica PowerCenter are the ease of use, and development, and is simple to find resources."
"Deployment was simple and straightforward."
"The technical support is excellent."
"It has a Data Catalog that uses the Model repository."
"Has a good visual tool for data mapping."
"The greatest feature is that it is very easy to have someone come in and jump right in. It is one of the nicest tools in terms of getting a person acquainted quickly."
"It has good standard features for ETL development."
"The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment."
"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"SnapLogic is more user-friendly than Boomi in terms of debugging. You can move the mouse to a place, and it will record and show the data easily."
"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."
"The feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development. Low-code development has been very useful for simple processes, which is required for business users such as extracting details from a file or getting things reported by calling your web service. Calling your web service also becomes easier with SnapLogic because of the snaps available, so if you have the documentation, you can call an API. You don't have to write all those clients to call an API, so that is another feature I found very easy in SnapLogic. Configuring and managing all the file systems also become very handy with the solution."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"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."
"We had stability issues, mostly with JVM size."
"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 performance of Informatica PowerCenter could improve."
"Compared to solutions offering similar functionalities, Informatica PowerCenter is not very flexible regarding customized integrations."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve the data threshold for large sets of data. Additionally, they should add real-time integration."
"While on-premises is a better product, we really need to move to the cloud and need the cloud to be as robust as this product."
"The reputation of Informatica is that it is expensive."
"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."
"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."
"I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."
"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."
"I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections."
"We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
