Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable."
"It is UI friendly and has all the advantages of an ETL tool."
"Once you figure it out, it is a powerful and simple ETL tool. Its stability has been very satisfactory."
"It has a Data Catalog that uses the Model repository."
"Informatica PowerCenter has good user feedback. The developers can easily make mappings in the solution."
"It reduces a lot of legacy coding."
"To me, what's most valuable in Informatica PowerCenter is the flexibility in building the integration pipeline. Usually, you need to have a platform to be able to integrate with different technologies, including legacy data such as the mainframe. The platform should also be rich enough to transform the data per your business requirement, with no restrictions. Rich integration and rich transformation capabilities are the two key capabilities in Informatica PowerCenter. The solution also offers ease of use. Another valuable feature of Informatica PowerCenter is the drag-and-drop integration because it's GUI-based, similar to IBM and Oracle."
"We have found the PowerCenter and B2B data transformation most valuable."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."
"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The ability to script information from websites is most valuable. It also seems to be fairly robust and reasonably easy to manage on a server-based deployment. We have a number of robots operating on the central server."
"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."
"The solution is scalable."
"The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services."
"I would like to see it be able to import data from NoSQL."
"Support could be better."
"In the future, I would like to see Informatica PowerCenter integrate a more powerful dashboard."
"What I didn't like about it is that the platform itself is not great at distributed processing. When you need high parallel processing, it has some inherent issues. We had to use Java transformation, and it did not go very well. I have heard that it is going to the cloud, but we haven't tried that."
"The developer tool documentation can be enhanced with a more clear explanation of each utility, accompanied by relevant examples, so that developers are able to create programs with ease."
"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."
"The UI is a little outdated."
"There can be scalability issues. Huge amounts of data ingestion will impact performance."
"The process discovery could be a bit better."
"The technical support must be improved."
"It needs a free training portal for anybody on the internet to use so that they can get an idea of what the possibilities are."
"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. They should work on the availability of its documentation. In Automation Anywhere, there is a feature called Discovery Bot that automatically records the process steps and suggests a possible bot. I am not sure if such a feature is available in Kofax. If it is not available, it will be very good to have this feature. "
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"Kofax RPA needs to improve integration with SAP and Microsoft. The professional services offered by the tool's team is below par. Its licensing needs to be more modular."
