Have built an enterprise-level cloud data pipeline with reliable governance and integration

People use Informatica Enterprise Data Lake because we can create the whole journey from data migration projects from the legacy system to AWS and to the Lake architecture, covering the entire journey from the source to the landing zone, then to the curated zone, and finally consumed by both downstream and upstream applications. The main benefit of Informatica Enterprise Data Lake is that it allows you to use different types of data types, including blobs and storage; all types of data—structured, unstructured, and semi-structured—can exist in the Data Lake architecture, making it robust for retrieving data based on your filtration needs. Its value is actually governed by the client, who combined with our company and AWS, so we all work together to use the workspace and all these things for Informatica Enterprise Data Lake.

Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support

SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

Cons

"Informatica Enterprise Data Lake's setup process was complex since it doesn't support a lot of real-time systems."

"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."

"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."

"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."

"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."

"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."

"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."

"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."

"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
