We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature." "The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources." "Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking." "The transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable." "Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features." "The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right." "Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation." "This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours." | "It's very easy to get started on the solution. It's also easy to maintain, scale, and integrate according to cost factors." "The most important part would be the use of connectors. The significant number of cloud connectors available for active integration is its value." "The lack of features in something like Oracle Integration Cloud leaves some room for leads implementation partners like us" "The most valuable feature is the ease of customization." "The out-of-box integration between Oracle and SAP is really beneficial" |
Cons | |
"The solution needs better integration with other tools." "Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time." "The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue." "Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important." "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." "Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved." "Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility," "I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms." | "Oracle-based automation blueprints for the majority of the integrations would be helpful to have in a future release." "Now the platform is not built in a way that you can define." "They need to make tools framework available for implementation partners" "Our client was quite concerned about the cost, which is something that could be reduced." "The solution doesn't currently have a fully fledged workflow feature like they have in OIM." |
