"It has a Data Catalog that uses the Model repository."
"The technical support is excellent."
"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."
"I found the map links, work links, and workflows valuable. They are important features."
"What I like the most is that we have to deal with less while writing the queries."
"The partitioning and optimization to help enhance our development is a very valuable aspect of Informatica PowerCenter."
"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"If we could have the option of performance improvement within Informatica, and if it could have more features, that would be ideal."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see Informatica PowerCenter integrate a more powerful dashboard."
"Informatica are very rigid when it comes to cloud migrations which discourages customers in moving their solution to the cloud."
"The only problem with this product is the level of complexity with the number of levels of transformation that you have to go through."
"This product is going to decommission in the next couple of years."
"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."
"They should release new versions for the solution's on-premises setup."
