We performed a comparison between Domo and Informatica PowerCenter based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Domo is not a difficult tool to learn. All you need to know is the SQL for the ETL part. You don't need to write much code. That's the great part. It uses legacy languages, like SQL, which is very common among developers who then don't have to go and learn Domo's own syntax. Therefore, you don't have to learn another hard language to use Domo."
"All our client SLAs and daily and weekly dashboards are tracked on Domo."
"The user interface is quite good."
"One feature which I have found to be very interesting is the Beast manager, where you can create calculated fields. They are shared in one common repository so someone else can use the same calculated fields; they don't have to rewrite or reinvent the APIs."
"The data certification feature, where the admin user can put a certified stamp on a data source so that other users can know that that is the correct and accurate data flow or data source to use, is a good feature."
"The fact that you can add any data source is valuable. The entire data handling suite they have, all the apps, etc., is pretty amazing. One of the key things, not being a techie or a data-warehouse guy, is that you can connect data sources, and do all kinds of pretty amazing things."
"In Workbench 5, they have come up with a very useful feature called Upsert. When you're pushing data into the data set, if the data is already available it will update the data, and if that the data is not there it will insert it. That is a beneficial feature that they introduced in the latest version."
"In general, Domo is very powerful and very easy to use, relatively speaking."
"The setup is very simple."
"The technical support for Informatica PowerCenter is good."
"The partitioning and optimization to help enhance our development is a very valuable aspect of Informatica PowerCenter."
"The most complex task, in this case, was to read and transform BLOB data, and Java transformation in Informatica Power Center was a great solution."
"We can scale the product."
"Informatica PowerCenter is a very good ETL tool."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica PowerCenter is the flow designer functionally. It is the best out of any ETL tool. Additionally, the solution is reliable and trustable in dealing with large data sources anytime. When we're using billions of data transactions, it's smooth."
"The most valuable features of Informatica PowerCenter are the ease of use, and development, and is simple to find resources."
"If Domo had a Copilot feature, you could interact with the graphs and talk to the graphs and tables."
"If your ETL runs more than 24 hours, it always fails because we are logging a lot of historical data, and there is a restriction on the amount of data (in rows) that you can run. The technical support has not found a solution for this yet."
"There's a learning curve before you can get used to the solution."
"It is expensive."
"Their STK is not up to date and you can't access it on their website. They have a private STK to access resources in Domo."
"I would like to see more flexibility in their pricing structure. The trend is moving from database pricing to a user-license pricing model. That would be a benefit if they wanted to reevaluate their pricing structure."
"The forecasting feature, the regression features, and the Python libraries could all be improved. They're all in beta."
"There were very few cases on some of the tables, the data tables, where I wish there was an additional feature or two."
"This product is going to decommission in the next couple of years."
"The UI is outdated and old-fashioned, at least in our current version. Also, we have experienced some stability issues with the Workflow Monitor application."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve on the documentation for the implementation. The documents provided are not very good for a new user."
"The only problem with this product is the level of complexity with the number of levels of transformation that you have to go through."
"Support could be better."
"I would like to see improvements made to the custom transformations. It should be more open for users that want to write their own code and use cases."
"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."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve the data threshold for large sets of data. Additionally, they should add real-time integration."
