We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerExchange and SAP Analytics Hub based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."
"This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours."
"The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"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 user interface and user experience are perfectly all right."
"It is a scalable and versatile solution."
"Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience."
"For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option."
"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products."
"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."
"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time."
"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 product is not suitable for application integration."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."
"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
