Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly.""The technical support services are good.""The MDM solution is capable of integrating multiple systems, so it helped us to solve the purpose of centralizing the depository as well as the standardization of mass data. It takes away all the ambiguity around data integrity issues or all the process challenges which happen when every stage of a process uses a different source as master data."

More Informatica Data Integration Hub Pros →

"This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours.""The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources.""The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature.""The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine.""The transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable.""The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems.""It is a scalable and versatile solution.""The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right."

Cons
"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions.""The initial setup was not very straightforward. Not complex, but not very simple either.""They could provide more robust performance for data integration processes. It would help in improving the data quality more efficiently."

"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized.""Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,""V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working.""I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms.""The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult.""Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before.""The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue.""Pushdown optimization could be improved."
