Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools.""The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature.""The product's initial setup phase was not complex. The tool is easy to install onto any of the servers, and you can integrate it.""The transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable.""It is a scalable and versatile solution.""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 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."

Cons
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult.""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.""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.""Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time.""Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved.""Pushdown optimization could be improved.""I would like the stability to improve."

"Generally speaking, support is a pain point. In the next release, I would love to see a change in support from the current chat to a more comprehensive portal."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "An annual package license fee is required."
  • "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."
  • "There is a need to pay towards the licensing cost of the product. It is an expensive product."
  • "Many users don't prefer to use the product, considering the high costs attached to the licensing part of the solution."
  • "The product is not very expensive."
