"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn.""I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet.""There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."

Cons
"The pricing of the solution can be improved.""The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes.""The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve.""It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language.""Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good.""It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency.""I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic.""The solution's data size limit can be improved."

"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities.""We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."

    Overview

    AWS Step Functions lets you coordinate multiple AWS services into serverless workflows so you can build and update apps quickly. Using Step Functions, you can design and run workflows that stitch together services such as AWS Lambda and Amazon ECS into feature-rich applications. Workflows are made up of a series of steps, with the output of one step acting as input into the next. Application development is simpler and more intuitive using Step Functions, because it translates your workflow into a state machine diagram that is easy to understand, easy to explain to others, and easy to change. You can monitor each step of execution as it happens, which means you can identify and fix problems quickly. Step Functions automatically triggers and tracks each step, and retries when there are errors, so your application executes in order and as expected.

    Informatica Business Process Manager enables process automation and application integration (formerly called ActiveVOS) that integrates users, systems, and processes via purpose-built tools that both citizen integrators and developers can use.
