Easy drag-and-drop interface and supports custom Python functions, but the performance needs to be better
The memory processing needs to be improved because when you deal with a large amount of data, the interface tends to hang a little bit. When the system boots up, it can take between two and five minutes, depending on the system memory (RAM). If the system is low on memory then it takes a long time to start up. If you are not familiar with Python then this product will be a little more difficult for you. It can take a long time to migrate from one version to the next because there are a lot of processes to deal with.

Streamlined daily sales workflows have reduced team size and enabled earlier, accurate reporting
One of the best features I appreciate about Informatica PowerCenter is that anyone with minimal knowledge of ETL can easily use it. It has four different interfaces: Monitor, Repository, Designer, and Workflow Manager. With our use case, we can easily go to that particular interface and use it. Another valuable feature is the use of Mapplets; if we have one mapping created that we want to use again and again for other workflows, we can create a Mapplet and save it so that we can reuse the mapping, reducing our workload. Informatica PowerCenter has positively impacted my organization because, as I mentioned previously, the development team has been reduced to half since we moved to it due to its easy interface and the reusability of Mapplets. It has also saved us a lot of time; for example, it has saved nearly one hour per day on monitoring and workflow tasks. Saving one hour a day is key because it has led us to report the data to business users one hour earlier than the usual time. If there are any anomalies or defects in the data, we can easily rectify them within that hour, which reduces the chance of errors in the data. Regarding cost, the number of people working on the project has been reduced to half, thus significantly decreasing costs for our organization since we moved to Informatica PowerCenter.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution allows you to include your own functions that are coded in Python."
"The drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy for business users."
"Can manage a huge quantity of data and provide reliability."
"When compared with other ETL or ELP tools, Informatica PowerCenter is the best for connecting to multiple sources, which is better when you have large loads."
"It has good standard features for ETL development."
"In the end, you have structured, proper data for use in an integrated BI solution."
"It is very robust, scalable, and simple to use, and it is very comprehensive in terms of connector and transformation capabilities from both a source and target perspective."
"Good product if you are trying implement data quality, data integration, and data management projects."
"Among all the solutions I have used, I found Informatica PowerCenter to be much more stable in terms of application."
"It's a complete package, which is why we use this solution."
 

Cons

"The memory processing needs to be improved because when you deal with a large amount of data, the interface tends to hang a little bit."
"With all these no code/low code platforms, Informatica still forces us to use the ANSI format of SQL for joins, especially left outer join."
"When I deal with very large amounts of data, there have been performance issues."
"It works stably but needs a dedicated professional admin in the project team."
"PowerCenter has three clients. I wish they would consolidate everything into one GUI, not three. Also, we had a persistent issue with the Informatica Developer tool but it was solved when we migrated to the newest one."
"They should release new versions for the solution's on-premises setup."
"This product is going to decommission in the next couple of years."
"It would be good to recreate the entire interface to make it easier for users to build workflows."
"Unstructured data handling is an important area with a shortcoming that needs improvement in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The open-source version is free to use, although it has a limitation of two-million records."
"It's much more expensive, almost three times more expensive than most other solutions."
"A basic setup can be from $100,000 and up annually."
"I am not sure about the most recent price, but I think it should be $100,000 or more."
"Its maintenance is expensive."
"The price of this solution is high."
"Our customers pay a licensing fee yearly."
"Licensing costs are excessive and pose an obstacle to someone who lacks familiarity with the solution and wishes to have a proper understanding of it."
"Informatica PowerCenter is reasonably priced. It is less expensive than Pentaho. There is a standard version fee in Taiwan. It is a one-time yearly subscription price that is approximately $3,010 US dollars for three users."
