We performed a comparison between Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration and Informatica PowerCenter based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution."
"The product is robust."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."
"Can manage a huge quantity of data and provide reliability."
"I like the automated scheduling feature."
"It is easy to use, and it is quick for developing things. It is fairly powerful, and it can integrate with a lot of different platforms without much hassle."
"The support is valuable. There are also open-source ETL products, which work very well, but there is no support. When we face a production problem, being able to get support is valuable, and it brings efficiency. With an open-source solution, we can't engage anyone to resolve the problem as quickly as possible."
"The ability to scale through partitions helped us to improve the performance."
"What I like the most is that we have to deal with less while writing the queries."
"The most valuable features of Informatica PowerCenter are the ease of use, and development, and is simple to find resources."
"The most valuable feature is the new Data Lake feature, which provides the basic capabilities needed."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."
"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished."
"The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises."
"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."
"I found it is kind of weird that not all of the mapping changes are treated as true changes."
"The initial setup is not straightforward. You need expertise to do it."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve on the documentation for the implementation. The documents provided are not very good for a new user."
"Integration with Artificial Intelligence would benefit this solution."
"This solution needs the functionality to do batch processing of data. It also lacks connectivity to NoSQL, unstructured data sources."
"Unstructured data handling is an important area with a shortcoming that needs improvement in the solution."
"The developer tool documentation can be enhanced with a more clear explanation of each utility, accompanied by relevant examples, so that developers are able to create programs with ease."
"The pricing could be improved."
