"It is a scalable and versatile solution."

"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."

"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"One area that needs to improve is the user experience because it is very complex. The trial version is very complex so it's not easy to start using the program immediately. You must study the rules first."

"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."

"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time."
"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
