Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far.""The product's initial setup phase was not complex. The tool is easy to install onto any of the servers, and you can integrate it.""The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources.""Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation.""It is a scalable and versatile solution.""The product’s flexibility is valuable.""The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right.""From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface."

Cons
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms.""Pushdown optimization could be improved.""Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved.""The solution needs better integration with other tools.""The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult.""The major shortcoming of PowerExchange is high availability and failover. None of the versions we've used to date have had the out-of-the-box ability to enable failover and high-availability requirements. This is a significant challenge and risk.""Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important.""Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "An annual package license fee is required."
  • "The cost of PowerExchange is reasonable. It does not rely on complicated formulas or unrealistic equations. The pricing model is straightforward. There is one component, and real-time integration is included. Some other solutions require purchasing additional modules or third-party plugins for this capability."
  • "It's expensive. In fact, nobody would buy any product of Informatica if the price was the only consideration. It costs money, and it doesn't come cheap, but it provides value for money in many ways."
  • "There is a need to pay towards the licensing cost of the product. It is an expensive product."
  • "Many users don't prefer to use the product, considering the high costs attached to the licensing part of the solution."
  • "The product is not very expensive."
