We performed a comparison between Informatica Cloud Data Integration, Informatica PowerExchange, and Zapier based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), MuleSoft, Matillion and others in Cloud Data Integration."The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"Data synchronization tasks."
"It is one of the best tools available for data integration."
"Replication allows us to fully replicate all objects from Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) to in-house/on-premises database in one job."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine."
"The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."
"Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It is a scalable and versatile solution."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources."
"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."
"We can connect Zapier with Zoho CRM for lead generation. I like the tool's drag and drop feature."
"There are a few valuable features, like the stability that it comes with and also the number of features that it offers. I've used other services like Pabbly, but they don't offer similar numbers of applications that Zapier has or allows to integrate with – it's maximum."
"Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say."
"Zapier is a really good tool for connecting multiple different platforms and data sources. For example, with Quickbase, I can easily integrate data from other sources like AWS or task-tracking platforms such as ClickUp or Asana."
"With the previous CRM we were using – the Google Ads landing pages we had – we were collecting leads manually. That process was not efficient and took a sales team a lot of time to insert these leads manually. Currently, the process is smooth and we use Zapier to collect the leads for us."
"What's most valuable in Zapier is its simplicity, seamlessness, and smooth plug-in, so you won't need to build code for every action. I'm not a developer, but I can use Zapier."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"Its pricing model can be improved. The response time from technical support can also be improved."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"We would like to have accessibility to the repository."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."
"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready. They need to add more features, such as improved data replication features. If you look at other tools, such as Matillion they are now cloud-native and flexible. Additionally, Informatica Cloud Data Integration should have a good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"The price modeling could be more flexible."
"The regions in which the data resides are still limited. This could be an issue in terms of the data residency laws of some of the countries. They should get more regions."
"V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working."
"The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail."
"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it."
"There is room for improvement in the support. They are not responsive, and they don't take much time to get resolved."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"At the moment, they allow a limited number of apps. I look forward to getting more apps for each package."
"It is not worth the money if you have a little bit of a technical mind...Zapier is not able to set up different modules. When automation doesn't work, it's not that easy to find why it didn't work."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"It could support various languages along with Python."
