Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The data integration and synchronization features in IICS improve the data handling processes."
"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."
"I rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten."
"This solution allows you to easily access and make use of information that you have in your on-premises environment."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"The product's pricing is definitely an area where a bit of improvement is needed."
"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."
"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."
"This service could be more cost-effective."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
