We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else.""The most valuable feature of FME is the graphical user interface. There is nothing better. It is very easy to debug because you can see all steps where there are failures. Overall the software is easy to optimize a process.""All spatial features are unrivaled, and the possibility to execute them based on a scheduled trigger, manual, e-mail, Websocket, tweet, file/directory change or virtually any trigger is most valuable.""It has standard plug-ins available for different data sources.""It has a very friendly user interface. You don't need to use a lot of code. For us that's the most important aspect about it. Also, it has a lot of connectors and few forms. It has a strong facial aspect. It can do a lot of facial analysis."

"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly.""The technical support services are good.""The MDM solution is capable of integrating multiple systems, so it helped us to solve the purpose of centralizing the depository as well as the standardization of mass data. It takes away all the ambiguity around data integrity issues or all the process challenges which happen when every stage of a process uses a different source as master data."

Cons
"Improvements could be made to mapping presentations.""FME's price needs improvement for the African market.""To get a higher rating, it would have to improve the price and the associated scalability. These are the main issues.""The one thing that always appears in the community is the ability to make really easy loops to loop through data efficiently. That needs to be added at some point.""FME can improve the geographical transformation. I've had some problems with the geographical transformations, but it's probably mostly because I'm not the most skilled geographer in-house. The solution requires some in-depth knowledge to perform some functions."

"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions.""The initial setup was not very straightforward. Not complex, but not very simple either.""They could provide more robust performance for data integration processes. It would help in improving the data quality more efficiently."
