Good tool, especially if you're using cloud services and an S3 bucket

There's definitely room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness. One example is that you can't search for jobs directly by file name. You can only search by job name. So, if you want to find a job that works with a specific file, you have to go through each job individually to find the right one. So, I'd like to see a faster search, one where I can search directly by file name. Moreover, the support team could improve by adding things like file transfer status updates. Also, if someone modifies a job and then leaves the company, that shouldn't disrupt the job for active users. It would be better if the job continued to run smoothly regardless of who modified it.

Influenced cost savings by approximately seventy to eighty percent

I have worked on multiple platforms in this space, like MuleSoft, Oracle, Intel, Microsoft, and Dell Boomi. However, Azure Logic Apps is the easiest and most transparent in terms of its operations, licensing cost, and scaling. Being in Azure, the use of the Azure ecosystem becomes quite native with Logic Apps.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The feature I found most valuable in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services is the mapping. You just drag, and it maps the data. Mapping is very easy, and it's no code. When you migrate data or when the data interaction happens at the source and destination, the challenge is that you'll get different formats. The validation has to be done in the middleware, and the transformation should happen. In Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, it's very easy to do data validation and transformation compared to any other tool."

"This solution allows you to easily access and make use of information that you have in your on-premises environment."

"Customer service and technical support are excellent."

"The most valuable feature of Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services for me is the availability of connectors."

"Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services offers a wide variety of services, including Cloud Data Integration, which is akin to a replica of PowerCenter on the cloud. I particularly like the mass ingestion service."

"I rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten."

"The data integration and synchronization features in IICS improve the data handling processes."

"The workflow in Logic Apps enables integrating multiple applications."

"The tool’s biggest benefit is the access we have to other Azure products."

"One special aspect of Azure Logic Apps is its easy integration of various applications, especially when connectors are already available. For instance, there are connectors for database applications and systems like SAP. You can drag and drop the connectors to complete your integration quickly."

"The product has efficient connectors."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up."

"The solution is very easy for new users because it includes very good documentation and transparency."

"Its notable advantage is its user-friendly UI, which allows easy testing."

"Azure Logic Apps has influenced cost savings by approximately seventy to eighty percent in many cases and is generally 30% to 40% cheaper than any comparable services in this space."

Cons

"In terms of data volume processing, Intelligent Cloud Services does not match the efficiency of Power Center."

"Synchronicity is an area for improvement in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services. For example, when you want real-time or immediate response from the solution when multiple technologies are involved, the integration with Informatica Intelligent Cloud isn't seamless, whether it's the MQ, JMS, or BES service, so the connectivity should be improved a bit. The data governance is good, but what's lacking is a demo. For example, if there's a new feature in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, the documentation for that new feature is limited, so if Informatica could give a more complete documentation and more demos, that would be better for the users. Right now, there isn't any issue with any of the features of the solution. It's the new feature awareness or user training, and improved connectivity that I'd like to see in the next version of Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services."

"The tool is quite good overall, but sometimes the number of modules can be overwhelming. If the development interface could be optimized to have fewer modules, it would be greatly beneficial."

"This service could be more cost-effective."

"The product's pricing is definitely an area where a bit of improvement is needed."

"There's definitely room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness. One example is that you can't search for jobs directly by file name. You can only search by job name. So, if you want to find a job that works with a specific file, you have to go through each job individually to find the right one. So, I'd like to see a faster search, one where I can search directly by file name."

"The cloud version of Informatica, although easier and more advanced than PowerCenter, still requires a deep dive to fix bugs."

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could have more customization options for connectors."

"There could be more AI features included in the product."

"The product needs improvement in getting direct access to the code and versioning."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The visual tool that is used to build integration is quite old."

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps needs further development in consistency and durability, particularly for handling larger data volumes beyond 1 MB."

"In Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, we use Liquid templates, and I feel it can be improved as it does not support all the features that our company wants to use during any complex mapping when we might have to go for custom coding."

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is good for certain types of workloads, but it doesn't offer many customization options."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is something that can be improved."

"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."

"The solution is expensive."

"In my experience, Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is not a cheap solution."

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could be costly if a user isn't careful. The costs associated with the solution could still be improved."

"The price of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is inexpensive."

"The cost of the solution could be cheaper."

"The tool's cost can vary depending on your specific use case. Generally, it's considered cheaper, but the price depends on how much you use it and which features you need. Initially, there was a consumption-based pricing model, but now Microsoft offers a standard tier. Microsoft encourages users to migrate from the consumption model to the standard one by 2025. The pricing is a monthly fixed cost, depending on your usage needs."

"The product pricing aligns well with the value and capabilities offered by Azure services."

"Its price depends on the number of transactions, storage capacity, etc., defining if the subscription will be monthly or weekly."

"It's a bit costly at the end of the day. It's difficult to calculate pricing, and that affects the business. That's one challenge."
