Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools.""Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features.""Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation.""The scalability is excellent.""The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right.""The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources."

"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system.""The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone.""It was mostly easy to set up the product.""In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users.""The customer service executives are very responsive.""The solution's customer service is good.""WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide.""The solution basically conforms to our standards."

Cons
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved.""Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time.""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.""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.""Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important.""The solution needs better integration with other tools.""I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."

More Informatica PowerExchange Cons →

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me.""They should introduce better pricing for small companies.""WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs.""The customization can be a bit difficult.""The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality.""They should release upgrades more frequently.""The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
