Cons
"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool.""They should build a functional architecture based on queuing.""Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."

More ETL Solutions Transformation Manager Cons →

"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure.""The workflow could be improved.""Some error messages can be very cryptic.""It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point.""Cost of this solution is quite high.""If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly.""There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers.""The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."

    Overview
    Transformation Manager is an integrated development toolkit that is used to build data migration and data integration solutions more efficiently. A metadata-driven code generator, Transformation Manager provides users with the ability to generate lightweight, easy-to-deploy code. It combines a Graphical User Interface with a statement-driven mapping language. The Transformation Manager software derives metadata from the elements, attributes and relationships in a source and target model. Transformation Manager then uses rules specified by Simple Mapping Language (SML), which is specifically designed for implementing data transformation projects, to generate code written in Java.
