"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"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."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time."
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
