Cons
"Informatica Data Archive could improve by providing training. Training is one area where we lack, there are not very many trained resources in the market for sales, GPM, proposals, new offerings, or new features that are being added to this solution. It would be really helpful for consultants, like me, to understand the new, cool features these solutions are constantly adding. Training is something, that should be in place.""The recovery features could improve in Informatica Data Archive."

More Informatica Data Archive Cons →

"Some customizations of the dashboard, such as having backup reports, would be useful.""The software does not support webhooks. It doesn't support advanced versions of APIs. The tool also doesn't support advanced versions of specifications. The change that we do in one part of the model is not reflected throughout the specification. There are also some mutations in the clones. I am not able to do a local source control with the product as well.""There's no reporting with this tool, and there really should be. They should add that into future releases."
