Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use."
"We can scale the product."
"Complex transformations can be easily achieved by using PowerCenter. The processing layer does transformations and other things. About 80% of my transformations can be achieved by using the middle layer. For the remaining 15% to 20% transformations, I can go in and create stored procedures in the respective databases. Mapplets is the feature through which we can reuse transformations across pipelines. Transformations and caching are the key features that we have been using frequently. Informatica PowerCenter is one of the best solutions or products in the data integration space. We have extensively used PowerCenter for integration purposes. We usually look at the best bridge solution in our architecture so that it can sustain for maybe a couple of years. Usually, we go with the solution that fits best and has proven and time-tested technology."
"Informatica PowerCenter is a very good ETL tool."
"Informatica PowerCenter has good user feedback. The developers can easily make mappings in the solution."
"It has helped us monetize."
"I found the map links, work links, and workflows valuable. They are important features."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica PowerCenter is data transformation and user-friendliness."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring tools and the reporting manager."
"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."
"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"Its documentation could be improved."
"The UI is a little outdated."
"The multiple interfaces in Informatica PowerCenter are not great for the user experience. Because of this, I think it can cause confusion for any beginner developer."
"Now they are migrating to a new version, and they have something that is called Informatica Developer. Previously, they just had PowerCenter. Now, when they move everything to Informatica Developer it's not as good or stable like it was when it was PowerCenter, though it has some nice features. This Developer tool could be better."
"In the future, I would like to see Informatica PowerCenter integrate a more powerful dashboard."
"There is a need to buy a separate license if one wishes to connect with some kind of SAP system, such as SalesForce."
"The licensing cost for Informatica is very high. Other all-in-one solutions have much lower prices than Informatica."
"The only problem with this product is the level of complexity with the number of levels of transformation that you have to go through."
"In terms of performance improvement and tuning, there should be a bit more guidance and documentation."
