Informatica PowerCenter Customer Service and Support

YT
Developer, Architect at L'Oreal

Informatica PowerCenter provides good client support. My team got in touch with support when there was an issue with the solution, and the Informatica PowerCenter support team communicated how to install the hotfix, and the issue was solved.

On a scale of one to five, I'm rating support a four. I didn't give it a five because sometimes, support isn't that qualified in terms of explaining the product and the problem. Informatica PowerCenter support is available, though. For example, I've worked with the support team last year, and I received a call two hours after opening the ticket. The support team answers quickly, but what can take time is understanding and explaining the problem and the solution. Sometimes, it could take three or four days before the problem is resolved because after working on the ticket, it would be escalated to another team, and so that takes time.

We have 24/7 support because it belongs to the production environment. We just have to open a case, and somebody takes up the case and provides an answer. They also call back, and there is also a knowledge base.

Software Test Automation Engineer at Atradius

Our admin team is from Informatica, and if we have any problems then we contact them. For example, the tool that I work on directly interacts with PowerCenter, where PowerCenter works as a backend for my application. If I have connectivity issues or need special access to PowerCenter, I contact the admin team and they help me to sort out the issues.

PS
Analytics Insights - Manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees

I have not used technical support yet in this organization. That said, in my prior organizations, I have. When we had a new tool, for example, we had OneConnect for an SAP Field Glass Connector and we were not sure how to connect to it. Therefore, we had some connectivity-related questions that we were not able to explore on our own since there wasn't much online expertise available. We had to reach out. All questions were addressed and answered by Informatica.

The level of assistance we received was as expected. We were happy with their response time and their answers provided solutions to our questions.

Service Delivery Manager & Data Governance Consultant at Master Works

For technical support, there are levels. The first level of support is called TechAccess and it's between Informatica and other vendors. TechAccess takes time and their response is often delayed. After that, we escalate and go to the Informatica level of support. Once we reach them, they proceed to explain the solution.

Managing Partner at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

I haven't been in touch with technical support in the last few years, but before that, I contacted them many times. I remember that when we were using PDW, the previous version of Microsoft APS, we contacted Informatica support teams a few times to handle connection problems with the driver of PDW, and they solved it. I was satisfied with the support.

Oracle came in and they implemented a lot of the functionality that we needed. Beyond what we received from Oracle, there were very few times where we needed support.

Most of the time, the only thing we needed technical support was with Oracle patches and we ran into a problem, something broke.

KS
Senior Consultant at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees

That's actually one of the parts that are kind of difficult with Informatica. They don't do direct support. They rely on using their distributors around the globe for support. In Norway, there is a specific company that has the license to sell Informatica, and they also provide the support, which means that whenever there is a problem, you kind of have to go through this layer of different companies before you get help.

MK
Data Scientist at IME

Technical support and their approach is good. They have a support portal and support tickets. If you open a ticket it has multiple levels of severity from level one to very high or critical. 

Also, you can buy a support policy for 24/7 support. 

Sometimes, we've had issues where customers complain so we have to keep pressuring support and escalating the matter to upper management to get things fixed in a timely fashion. However, this doesn't happen too often. The process as a whole is good.
