Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), MuleSoft, Matillion and others in Cloud Data Integration."We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"The most valuable features of the AWS Database Migration Service are the ease of migration, beneficial storage system, security, and simple instance creation. Additionally, the cloud that is provided is more complete than other solutions."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"If your infrastructure is already on Amazon, it simply makes the most sense to use a tool officially provided by them as an additional service, rather than having to rely on a third-party solution."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The fact that it's well-integrated into multiple targets that are good for different use cases is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Database Migration Service is it catches all the history changes, such as inset, observe, and delete. It tracks everything."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"The most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Integration for our clients are the AI capabilities within Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services."
"The data mapping capability is a valuable feature."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"It is one of the best tools available for data integration."
"The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"The solution is straightforward."
"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"Zapier is user friendly and makes it easy to integrate different tools. It has a drag and drop functionality which makes it easy to connect environments."
"Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say."
"Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices."
"With the previous CRM we were using – the Google Ads landing pages we had – we were collecting leads manually. That process was not efficient and took a sales team a lot of time to insert these leads manually. Currently, the process is smooth and we use Zapier to collect the leads for us."
"Zapier handles everything under the sun that you would think you need in automation. It is the most mature integration platform and service on the market."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"As a solution, the better thing is if more platforms come with direct compatibility, like connecting to different data sources. The basic problem I faced the most was while transferring and reading data from Excel. So, one time, I found that all the components I had declared in my scripts were able to take it. And after some patching happens, it is not able to support that. Again, we need to update the version of Excel. So, it's not like a plug-in type place where you have done the solution and are confident that it will work. So, this is an area of improvement."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"Database Migration Service could be more integrated. I think that it makes sense to add integration to these functions. For example, AWS Glue has a feature called Orchestrator to create data flows, and that's more straightforward."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"One area where Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve is in providing more accelerators for certain functionalities."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"It could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"Its features for partitioning and optimization could be better."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"The main issue preventing Brazilian companies from migrating to Informatica Cloud Data Integration from on-prem is the price."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"It is not worth the money if you have a little bit of a technical mind...Zapier is not able to set up different modules. When automation doesn't work, it's not that easy to find why it didn't work."
"Zapier needs more YouTube or video tutorials or more training for people. That would help a lot. In particular, Zapier should have documentation for every connector. Its documentation needs to be more detailed and visual."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"It could support various languages along with Python."
"System-to-system is fine, but when it comes to system-to-user, where Zapier is helping to communicate to a user, that's a one-way communication. If that user has to perform some action on that notification, the action isn't handled by Zapier. So there's no way to orchestrate that and it's very cumbersome."
"There is room for improvement in the support. They are not responsive, and they don't take much time to get resolved."
"Being able to share Zaps and organize them with teammates would allow sharing and refining scenarios and even combining steps that require different people's credentials."
