"It would be better if I could do all the work within a single window. If I'm working on any mapping and if I have to switch to sessions, I have to open a new window altogether. If I have to get into workflows, I have to open a new window. It was also very expensive. In the next release, I would like it to be more user-friendly."
"The solution does not scale."
"The licensing cost for Informatica is very high. Other all-in-one solutions have much lower prices than Informatica."
"In terms of performance improvement and tuning, there should be a bit more guidance and documentation."
"Its licensing can be improved. It should be features-wise and not bundle-wise. A bundle will definitely be costly. In addition, we might use one or two features. That's why the pricing model should be based on the features. The model should be flexible enough based on the features. Their support should also be more responsive to premium customers."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, considering the fact that the present licensing charges of the tool are expensive."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve the data threshold for large sets of data. Additionally, they should add real-time integration."
