Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes."
"Automated reporting."
"The important feature is integration with source data. It connects to various ERP systems, including Workday, Intact, and others. It can also import actuals and compare them to PlanPoint quite easily."
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization."
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"We have found the PowerCenter and B2B data transformation most valuable."
"Easy, scalable, robust platform to integrate heterogeneous source platform's data into the unified data warehouse."
"Good interface, reasonable documentation."
"It's very easy to use it to develop mappings and workflows."
"The most valuable features of Informatica PowerCenter are the ease of use, and development, and is simple to find resources."
"One of the most valuable features for us is the metadata repository because it can easily understand the lineage of first target mapping. My company and I also find Informatica really easy to use—when a consultant joins our company, in just a few days to a few weeks, they can understand how to use it—so we prefer to use this ETL tool."
"What I like most about Informatica PowerCenter is that it's the best tool in the market for data integration. Currently, I work in L'Oréal, where a new system from SAP is used. Informatica PowerCenter integration with SAP is very, very fast and very, very simple, so you have the server flow from SAP, and through Informatica PowerCenter, you can ingest the data and make that data available for the business more quickly."
"The technical support for Informatica PowerCenter is good."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"Adaptive Insights has a limit of 1,00,000 rows for HTML reports. It should be improved because we will have multiple dimensions that need to be populated to enhance the image."
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
"The licensing is difficult."
"Requires an established data center because there is no option for software as a service."
"Informatica, in my opinion, is very rigid and not very flexible, whereas platforms like Alteryx or Matillion are very flexible and agile."
"PowerCenter could integrate better with cloud applications. We had to do a lot of configuration work using API integrations to connect with cloud applications. Informatica Cloud Data Integration has a generic connector that you can use directly, so it's much easier."
"I found it is kind of weird that not all of the mapping changes are treated as true changes."
"There is some room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"The solution could have better documentation on basic steps or blocks that specify what to do."
