Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."
"It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI."
"The tool's most valuable features I've found are related to debugging and testing. It makes it easy to track execution, documents, and process history. This functionality is particularly useful for identifying issues with data and providing insights to the business."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"The platform is user-friendly."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"The most valuable features of Informatica PowerCenter are the ease of use, and development, and is simple to find resources."
"Can manage a huge quantity of data and provide reliability."
"The setup is straightforward."
"It's a complete package, which is why we use this solution."
"Informatica PowerCenter has good user feedback. The developers can easily make mappings in the solution."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring tools and the reporting manager."
"To me, what's most valuable in Informatica PowerCenter is the flexibility in building the integration pipeline. Usually, you need to have a platform to be able to integrate with different technologies, including legacy data such as the mainframe. The platform should also be rich enough to transform the data per your business requirement, with no restrictions. Rich integration and rich transformation capabilities are the two key capabilities in Informatica PowerCenter. The solution also offers ease of use. Another valuable feature of Informatica PowerCenter is the drag-and-drop integration because it's GUI-based, similar to IBM and Oracle."
"It has good standard features for ETL development."
"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"The product's UI could be more convenient."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"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."
"Its licensing can be improved. It should be features-wise and not bundle-wise. A bundle will definitely be costly. In addition, we might use one or two features. That's why the pricing model should be based on the features. The model should be flexible enough based on the features. Their support should also be more responsive to premium customers."
"Compared to solutions offering similar functionalities, Informatica PowerCenter is not very flexible regarding customized integrations."
"There is some room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"The documentation could be improved."
"I found it is kind of weird that not all of the mapping changes are treated as true changes."
"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."
"What I didn't like about it is that the platform itself is not great at distributed processing. When you need high parallel processing, it has some inherent issues. We had to use Java transformation, and it did not go very well. I have heard that it is going to the cloud, but we haven't tried that."
