Cons
"The only thing that I can imagine that might be improved is how the available transactions verify addresses used. These transactions have a valid end date and must be used within the agreed timeframe."

More Informatica Address Verification Cons →

"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade.""It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files.""The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services.""The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed.""It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better.""An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users.""Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity.""There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
