Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The scalability is excellent.""It is a scalable and versatile solution.""Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features.""The product’s flexibility is valuable.""It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools.""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.""The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine.""The transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable."

"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines.""It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies.""The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL.""The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps.""It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services.""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its ease of use. If you have had some experience with other solutions, such as Snowflake, the use of this solution will be simple.""It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs.""It's been able to do everything we require."

Cons
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized.""The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required.""Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,""I would like the stability to improve.""Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before.""The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved.""The solution needs better integration with other tools.""V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working."

More Informatica PowerExchange Cons →

"The improvement area could be possible if the tool provides better integration capabilities with other ecosystems, including governance tools or data cataloging tools, as it is currently an area where the solution is lacking.""When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience.""I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly.""While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use.""Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster.""Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized.""To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful.""Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
