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."Can manage a huge quantity of data and provide reliability."
"Good interface, reasonable documentation."
"It's a very powerful tool you can use to load data, get data, do the drawing between the tables, and put into the packet in a very fast way."
"The performance and design of Informatica have been very valuable. I find the performance faster than, say, Oracle Data Integrator or DataStage."
"It has good standard features for ETL development."
"It works with any multi-databases, so it works with Sybase, SQL Server. Also, the performance is really good and it is easy to use."
"It has very good monitoring and process monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the new Data Lake feature, which provides the basic capabilities needed."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The UI is outdated and old-fashioned, at least in our current version. Also, we have experienced some stability issues with the Workflow Monitor application."
"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."
"Lacks ability to calculate cost of the product."
"The only problem with this product is the level of complexity with the number of levels of transformation that you have to go through."
"The UI is a little outdated."
"The licensing is difficult."
"Requires an established data center because there is no option for software as a service."
"Unstructured data handling is an important area with a shortcoming that needs improvement in the solution."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
