Data workflows have accelerated and now optimize migration and cost management
The best feature Airbyte Cloud offers is data transformation. Airbyte Cloud has positively impacted our organization by being very helpful and speeding up our work environment. An example of how it has helped speed things up is that we have data here and there, which helps us to organize and speed up our migration. Data tasks help our workflow and organization because most of the things we do manually, so that helps organize.

Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.
