A tool for easy data migration from one environment to another that needs to fix its performance issues
In the cloud, Informatica has migrated to a different environment in a single platform named IDMC, on which one can have cloud data migration, cloud application integration, data quality, and data governance, making everything combined with a single platform. Earlier in our company, we had to rely on different software or platforms for each functionality, but now we can use a single URL and work on a single platform. I would like to speak about Informatica Cloud Data Integration's performance, which is too slow but works overall as a tool. To those planning to use Informatica Cloud, I would say that it is the second-best product in the marketplace, and soon it will become the leading product. On a daily basis, the product has been increasing their overall availability and performance .On a weekly basis, the product gives out some new updates while fixing its old defects. It will be a good product in the coming years. Improvements in the current product will continue for some time. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

Provides great data integration and takes out the complexity of building your own tech stack
Palantir Foundry builds full applications for us. We can build an end-to-end application from data ingestion and data pipelining, to application building. Early on, we built an internal application that ingested data from our ERP and BI environment that is used by around 700 users.  Palantir…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"Replication allows us to fully replicate all objects from Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) to in-house/on-premises database in one job."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"The support is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The data lineage is great."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
 

Cons

"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"Connectivity could be improved, it can be a little slow."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"The integration process is not easy."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The workflow could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
