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."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."
"The scalability is excellent."
"The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."
"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 transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"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 Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."
"We've had no issues with the stability so far."
"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"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."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."
"We encounter issues getting email notifications. They should provide enough information about the configuration process for email components."
"I would like to see better integration with other tools."
"We are currently using version 7.3.1, but preferred the version before. The problem that we currently have is that Talend are releasing patches for Talend Studio every quarter. Our technical team has to be on top of these patches and constantly ensure everything is updated."
