Cons
"The solution needs better integration with other tools.""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.""Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important.""The product is not suitable for application integration.""Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,""Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved.""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.""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 →

"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself.""They lack in memory capacity.""I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication.""The documentation from version to version could be more accurate.""The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform.""The product must enhance the data quality.""I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced.""I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "The cost of PowerExchange is reasonable. It does not rely on complicated formulas or unrealistic equations. The pricing model is straightforward. There is one component, and real-time integration is included. Some other solutions require purchasing additional modules or third-party plugins for this capability."
  • "It's expensive. In fact, nobody would buy any product of Informatica if the price was the only consideration. It costs money, and it doesn't come cheap, but it provides value for money in many ways."
