We performed a comparison between Informatica Cloud Data Integration and TIBCO BusinessWorks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product improves data quality."
"The solution is straightforward."
"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."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"It is one of the best tools available for data integration."
"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"Customer support is very efficient."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"The most valuable feature is the integration."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"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."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"The integration process is not easy."
"It could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"There is room for improvement at the highest level in terms of useability and connectors for various types of new applications. The row processing performance could be better because you experience some latency dealing with high volumes of data. Most organizations will be dealing with multiple cloud applications, so you could see performance issues moving from one system to another."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"Cloud fitness is lacking"
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."
