We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerCenter and Sisense based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has very good monitoring and process monitoring."
"The reliability of the product and the way of orchestration of different services is valuable to us."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring tools and the reporting manager."
"Ease and speed of building integrations, especially integrations between different applications, such as our Hospital Information System."
"Technical support, and their approach is good. They have a support portal and support tickets. If you open a ticket it has multiple levels of severity from level one to very high or critical."
"It provides monitoring and we can therefore be aware of what is happening when we are handling jobs."
"Informatica PowerCenter has good user feedback. The developers can easily make mappings in the solution."
"The most valuable aspects of Informatica PowerCenter are the many features, ease of use, and user-friendliness."
"Support is very responsive and clearly one of the strengths of Sisense. I have always received a fast response and the staff is very helpful."
"There are many built-in connectors, which allow us to easily add new sources of data, often in minutes."
"No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution."
"The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources. Sisense is fast compared to other solutions."
"Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way."
"This solution is easy to learn how to use."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources."
"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve on the documentation for the implementation. The documents provided are not very good for a new user."
"Areas for improvement in Informatica PowerCenter include scalability and high availability or the clustering configuration because that's still very basic. The elasticity or scaling of the platform needs a lot of improvement. For example, when it comes to DR handling or building an active-active or active-passive cluster, Informatica PowerCenter is still not that powerful. Automation also needs improvement in the solution. Improving automation leads to some improvement in the stability of Informatica PowerCenter and other aspects related to it. What I'd like to see in the next release of Informatica PowerCenter is real-time capability because the solution is mainly for patches, and to have real-time integration, you need to count on some additional components from Informatica. I would expect more integration and a complete platform in terms of real-time capability or patching with minimal interventions or minimal components to be aligned together."
"Unstructured data handling is an important area with a shortcoming that needs improvement in the solution."
"I would like to see an improvement in the digital adoption."
"PowerCenter could integrate better with cloud applications. We had to do a lot of configuration work using API integrations to connect with cloud applications. Informatica Cloud Data Integration has a generic connector that you can use directly, so it's much easier."
"The UI is a little outdated."
"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."
"Integrating new tools can be tricky and challenging."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
"I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually."
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
"This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution."
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."
