Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."It is an excellent ETL tool."
"The performance and design of Informatica have been very valuable. I find the performance faster than, say, Oracle Data Integrator or DataStage."
"It's very easy to use it to develop mappings and workflows."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It has very good monitoring and process monitoring."
"The ability to scale through partitions helped us to improve the performance."
"Informatica PowerCenter is very good for integrating a huge amount of data in a very short duration, such as a minute. It is also very easy to use. After you provide the source and the target, mappings are automatically done, which makes it easy to use for the development team."
"Deployment was simple and straightforward."
"The stability of the solution is OK."
"What needs improvement in Informatica PowerCenter is the cloud experience because, nowadays, other companies, such as AWS, Azure, and Google, have more experience in the cloud. The pricing for Informatica PowerCenter on the cloud is also very expensive for customers, so some customers prefer open-source tools or lower-priced tools, such as Azure. From my point of view, Informatica must work on the pricing policy and review the policy on the cloud for Informatica PowerCenter or propose more tools with lower pricing. Clients want the automatic integration of Informatica PowerCenter with other tools. Currently, the integration process is manual, and you have to add other tools to facilitate the integration, especially with the DevOps methodology. You need scripts and tools for the integration, and you'll need to use other integration tools if you want automatic deployment for Informatica PowerCenter, so this is another area for improvement in the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for the integration with APIs to be simpler, because currently, the API integration feature of Informatica PowerCenter is very difficult. It's not intuitive. You have to facilitate API integration and the real-time streaming of messages in Kafka, for example, so that should be improved."
"We had stability issues, mostly with JVM size."
"Integrated Reporting service should be more smoothly transitioned from view to function to be in sync with the main design."
"It should be more cloud-centric than on-prem-centric."
"While on-premises is a better product, we really need to move to the cloud and need the cloud to be as robust as this product."
"While Informatica is great for data-integration, it does not have any analytics features. Thus, organizations have to always look for another product for their BI needs."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve the data threshold for large sets of data. Additionally, they should add real-time integration."
"The pricing could be improved."
"It is not performing well."
