The initial setup for Informatica PowerCenter is complex, especially if you don't have a lot of experience with the solution. The deployment could take one day to complete, but in more sophisticated environments, it could take a week, so it depends.

The setup is a very easy, automated process.

The solution is deployed on the public cloud by Azure.

The solution does not require any installation to be done at my end.

The solution is straightforward to install and configure. The duration of the deployment depends on the project. In some cases, it takes time to procure machines. Once we get the devices, developing the required environment takes another three to four days. In scenarios where we have to build the solution in labs, installation takes around six to seven hours. Also, it requires maintenance at a repository level.

We have found the initial setup to be very straightforward. I'd rate it eight out of ten in terms of ease of deployment. 

The future migration to the cloud will be a long process, and we're expecting the migration from on-premises to the cloud to take about half a year. 

The initial setup has a moderate level of difficulty.

If it is a simple first-time implementation, no one will face issues. However, when people keep upgrading from one version to another, there can be some compatibility issues. It all depends on how you write the code. For example, a few of the code migrations when we were upgrading did or did not work, and that's where we faced some challenges.

The product's initial setup phase is very easy.

I rate the initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup process, and ten is a very easy setup phase.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The product's deployment process in our company doesn't take much longer to be completed since it is an easy process to prepare the object to be deployed. The product can be deployed in a few hours.

The initial setup of Informatica PowerCenter is of a moderate level of difficulty. The full implementation took approximately one day.

The initial setup of Informatica PowerCenter is easy. The full deployments can take approximately seven hours.

The initial setup of the solution is easier than Pentaho. Informatica was set up by me with the help of two supply chain consultants, in one day. 

The solution is easy to deploy and manage. I also usually help my customers to implement and configure the product. The time taken for the implementation process depends upon how big of an implementation process has to be carried out. So, for a single customer, it took around three days to deploy the solution. However, three months were required for the customization part. The solution gets deployed on-premises and on the private cloud.

The installation and configuration are both well-documented and straightforward.

I didn't handle the installation. I did practice installing on my workstation to practice, and it was easy. However, for the entire company, it was handled by a third party. 

While it is on-premises right now, we have plans to move everything to the cloud in the short term. We are working on that right now.

It isn't complex. In the beginning, we have to test and try different parameters. Once that is complete, it is done for all the processes. If we have some trouble, we can call support, and most of the time, we can find people to help us in choosing the right parameters from different parameters.

The complete implementation—which includes doing the proof of concept, understanding how it works and what work has to be done, migrating all existing workflows—took over six months.

It's not a simple setup. It requires a bit of a learning curve, no doubt about it. For example, if you want an index, a three or four-year engineer would need to handle that. If you want to make them as a utility engineer, there is a learning curve involved. 

It took us three to four months to deploy the solution. 

We have 12 to 14 people working on the deployment and maintenance of the solution. 

PowerCenter is very easy to install. I'm not sure about the cloud deployment, however. 

The deployment and configuration might take about three hours. 

If the environment is small, you only need one or two people for deployment and maintenance; however, if the environment is bigger, you likely will need more. 

The initial set up was easy. It wasn't cumbersome. 

The installation is not complex. It is easy to do because you just need one database, such as Oracle, set up as the backend, and some executable files.

The initial setup was a conventional data warehouse pattern. Later on, when we started implementing CRM, SCM and ERP it started getting a bit complex. However breaking down projects into multiple data models and organizing

The solution is pretty straightforward to set up. It is not complex.

We got some training on the transformations and the ETL process itself; however, the implementation of the things was done by then. The strategy was to have teamwork on the building and accumulating data from the hospitals and then build a data warehouse around it. 

The full deployment took two months for us. We had two engineers working on the implementation. 

Our team handles the maintenance. One or two people are handling it. Other than running some interim tasks, everything is scheduled, and then some operational monitoring is required. Otherwise, there are no other maintenance jobs to worry about.

Usually, the initial setup for PowerCenter is straightforward. The is nothing complex about it. However, if you are integrating new tools or if you are putting in an adapter for a product like the Amazon Cloud Service or RedShift, it will be challenging.

Setting up PowerCenter isn't easy. It requires some in-depth knowledge and specialists who know how to deploy the solution. Deployment takes a couple of days. We did everything in-house with one or two people. 

The setup was easy. However, the solution could have better documentation on basic steps or blocks that specify what to do. For example, a particular topic could be described at length in a video so people can understand it.

Installation is also relatively easy, but when we tried to include data warehousing, extraction or ETL functionality, we needed specific configurations and capacity. That is a pain point for users, developers and architects. However, it became easier after several periods.

It is a simple process because we have a pool of experts in our team. Some manual work could be required. We did have challenges while setting it up, but we could also resolve those challenges. 

The initial setup for Informatica PowerCenter was simple. It was a straightforward setup, and it wasn't complicated at all.

The implementation of Informatica PowerCenter is easy.

The setup is straightforward but we have been doing it for 15 years. A good feature they offer is the backward compatibility which makes the setup seamless.

The initial setup takes time sometimes. It can take around two days if you have a prior code. That said, if you are starting it from scratch, then more than four hours, so it is easy - if someone has experience in it, of course, and the proper manual to follow.

That's a tricky question because it's always complex. For the business logic, it's complex. They had a lot of systems and we had to do the integration between the source. I've been working with this solution for a lot of years, so to me it's straightforward. So that's a tricky question. I would say that for professionals, it's straightforward.

The initial setup was really straightforward and easy and it took us about 15 minutes. Three people are enough to do the maintenance. 

The initial setup is easy.

The initial setup was easy. The full implementation took approximately two weeks.

The initial setup is not so easy but once it's been deployed it's quite reliable from a performance point of view.

With knowledgable developers, the setup was not complex.

The set-up was simple and I did it myself. If you try it one time, it'll be easy the next time. The one product that does need improvement in installation is Enterprise Data Catalog, EDC. It's very difficult and all my colleagues hate communicating with and installing EDC.

The initial setup of PowerCenter is a simple process. The first development took just a week—a few days is enough. 

The initial setup is not straightforward. You need expertise to do it.

The initial setup for Informatica PowerCenter was straightforward.

The initial setup is dependent on the requirements of an organization. Sometimes it's more complicated. It requires and administrator who does everything, and eventually testers are brought in for specific workflows. Each environment requires a different deployment. Maintenance is carried out in-house. 

I rate PowerCenter eight out of 10 for ease of deployment. 

Deployment was simple and straightforward. 

There is no installation. After they provide the URL, you just log in. You just need the server details, and you can just log in with your Windows credentials.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy.

When compared with Linux or Windows, it was very easy and simple to install.

It takes two days maximum to implement one nanometer.

The initial setup of this solution was straightforward.

The latest versions are easy to install because it's cloud-based. You needed approximately four hours to install the older versions.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. I don't think that there were any problems with it.

It requires consultants. I won't be able to do it by myself. I would need some help to do it.

The initial setup was complex. There were many performance problems and some migrations took a long time to be implemented. After many meetings with different experts both problems were solved.

The initial setup is quite easy. It is easy to handle and debug as well.

Normally, it doesn't take long, but it depends on the issues we face.

The initial setup was complex. It depends on the security you're working on. There are no pre-defined rules. We have to create the rules and then start working on it. 

Initial setup is very easy. It's straightforward. They have really good manuals. They have a great installation manual. They have user manuals as well, so you just have to follow instructions. Everything is fine.

The initial installation of Informatica PowerCenter was straightforward. The amount of time it takes for the process depends on the deployment site, and how many maps, workflows, and tables there are.

The time it took used for the deployment was approximately two hours.

It's easy for me to install Informatica. But for configuration and domain creation with multiple nodes, it will take time. If you have to do it multiple times, it'll take even more time. 

For a simple installation, it's straightforward. Otherwise, it will take three to four hours for multiple nodes under multiple services. For example, if you're doing it for only an integration service, it's very simple. But for our data integration service and other services, it will take more time.

The initial setup was straightforward.

Straightforward.

I was personally not involved with the initial setup, but from what I have heard, it was fairly straightforward.

Informatica platform installation was straightforward, just If the prerequisites checks done successfully, it will be very easy to do.

The initial setup is not that complex.

It takes less than a day but more than an hour to deploy this solution.
