Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), MuleSoft, Matillion and others in Cloud Data Integration."The solution is straightforward."
"Data synchronization tasks."
"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."
"Their new licensing is very flexible. With Informatica Cloud, you have plenty of items under the same umbrella, such as services, offerings, data quality, and data masking. You have also got master data management and API management. What I really like about them is that you don't need to go to Informatica and say that you need a data integration module. You would say that you need iPaaS or Informatica Cloud. They'll then try to understand your needs and give you IPUs, which are the processing units. If I purchased a hundred IPUs from Informatica as a customer, I can use 70 IPUs for data integration. I would also need data quality, so I can use 10 IPUs for data quality. I can use the remaining 20 IPUs for API management. Down the line, if I see that my initial data integration needs for the development phase are met, then out of the 70 IPUs assigned for data integration, I can use 30 IPUs for data masking. I can shuffle these numbers in any way within the Informatica Cloud umbrella for the tenure for which I have subscribed to these IPUs. I can use all services the way I want. This flexibility is what I really love about Informatica. It also has got good connectors."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud. Instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"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."
"The ability to connect web applications to trigger actions in another app after having enriched, formatted, delayed, grouped, and filtered is really valuable for many businesses."
"We find it effortless to set up. We really don't have to do anything other than finding the application in the Zapier catalog. And as long as the application has been re-integrated into Zapier, they're able to then just provide the connection details and hook it up."
"Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices."
"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."
"The product's most valuable feature is automation."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"Cost-wise, it could be better."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"With the solution, we had some issues, and we have every day, and we used to open a ticket. Sometimes, there are data issues and transformation issues."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"It could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"One area where Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve is in providing more accelerators for certain functionalities."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"Some apps are not available yet. For instance, a connection with Joomla! would be great. In general, all the most-used apps are available, but I bumped into Joomla! with a client."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"System-to-system is fine, but when it comes to system-to-user, where Zapier is helping to communicate to a user, that's a one-way communication. If that user has to perform some action on that notification, the action isn't handled by Zapier. So there's no way to orchestrate that and it's very cumbersome."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it."
"It could support various languages along with Python."
"With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation."
