We performed a comparison between Elastic Search and Informatica PowerCenter based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There's lots of processing power. You can actually just add machines to get more performance if you need to. It's pretty flexible and very easy to add another log. It's not like 'oh, no, it's going to be so much extra data'. That's not a problem for the machine. It can handle it."
"Logsign provides us with the capability to execute multiple queries according to our requirements. The indexing is very high, making it effective for storing and retrieving logs. The real-time analytics with Elastic benefits us due to the huge traffic volume in our organization, which reaches up to 60,000 requests per second. With logs of approximately 25 GB per day, manually analyzing traffic behavior, payloads, headers, user agents, and other details is impractical."
"The most valuable feature for us is the analytics that we can configure and view using Kibana."
"It helps us to analyse the logs based on the location, user, and other log parameters."
"The ability to aggregate log and machine data into a searchable index reduces time to identify and isolate issues for an application. Saves time in triage and incident response by eliminating manual steps to access and parse logs on separate systems, within large infrastructure footprints."
"The search speed is most valuable and important."
"The observability is the best available because it provides granular insights that identify reasons for defects."
"The most valuable features are the detection and correlation features."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It reduces a lot of legacy coding."
"It works with any multi-databases, so it works with Sybase, SQL Server. Also, the performance is really good and it is easy to use."
"Complex transformations can be easily achieved by using PowerCenter. The processing layer does transformations and other things. About 80% of my transformations can be achieved by using the middle layer. For the remaining 15% to 20% transformations, I can go in and create stored procedures in the respective databases. Mapplets is the feature through which we can reuse transformations across pipelines. Transformations and caching are the key features that we have been using frequently. Informatica PowerCenter is one of the best solutions or products in the data integration space. We have extensively used PowerCenter for integration purposes. We usually look at the best bridge solution in our architecture so that it can sustain for maybe a couple of years. Usually, we go with the solution that fits best and has proven and time-tested technology."
"It's a very powerful tool you can use to load data, get data, do the drawing between the tables, and put into the packet in a very fast way."
"It has helped us monetize."
"It's a complete package, which is why we use this solution."
"The most valuable features are the dynamic reading of the file metadata profile, and the ability to define business rules that are used to verify and validate the uploaded files."
"Improving machine learning capabilities would be beneficial."
"Elastic Enterprise Search can improve by adding some kind of search that can be used out of the box without too much struggle with configuration. With every kind of search engine, there is some kind of special function that you need to do. A simple out-of-the-box search would be useful."
"We'd like more user-friendly integrations."
"I would like to see more integration for the solution with different platforms."
"Machine learning on search needs improvement."
"Elastic Search could benefit from a more user-friendly onboarding process for beginners."
"Better dashboards or a better configuration system would be very good."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. We faced a few issues."
"It would be nice to have all tools in one place. CDC needs more effort, as it's only easy to develop if you are familiar with Linux."
"I would like to see an improvement in the digital adoption."
"The solution does not scale."
"I would like to see improvements made to the custom transformations. It should be more open for users that want to write their own code and use cases."
"This product is going to decommission in the next couple of years."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
"Informatica PowerCenter is outdated and would benefit from modernization. They should have a very good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to AACF. Informatica PowerCenter there is no point in using it, you have to use a cloud version."
"Requires an established data center because there is no option for software as a service."
