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 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 is easy to use, and it is quick for developing things. It is fairly powerful, and it can integrate with a lot of different platforms without much hassle."
"Can manage a huge quantity of data and provide reliability."
"Among all the solutions I have used, I found Informatica PowerCenter to be much more stable in terms of application."
"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."
"Once you figure it out, it is a powerful and simple ETL tool. Its stability has been very satisfactory."
"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."
"I like the completeness of the way I can build ETL workflows."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics is its connectivity with ERP systems and the functionality to set up different fields for leads."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."
"We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool. Hence, we have three business use cases for IT support, sales and financials."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"The solution’s dashboard is very good."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show."
"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."
"Requires an established data center because there is no option for software as a service."
"PowerCenter could be improved by having more big data components. Normally, we prefer Informatica as a relational database, but nowadays, companies are trying to understand and use big data components. I think it would be useful if we had more chances to create a hub ecosystem because customers try to use some data integration tasks by SQL, Spark and Spark codes, and Scala, but at the end of the day, the company will understand that we need to trace all the steps. An ETL tool is a must for that company, if we're talking about the regulated industries like finance, telcos, etc. If Informatica's biggest ecosystems feature were okay, I would prefer to use it."
"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."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve by having a single interface because half of the system is still in the legacy interface and many other elements are moved to the developer client. It would be good if there was a single interface for the end user and developers."
"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."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"The solution's tasks and project management tools are weaker than those of its competitors."
"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
