Featured Reviews

Divya-Raj - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr. Consultant cum Assistant Manager & Offshore Lead at Deloitte
Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Monitors databases and applications efficiently with timely alerts
The most valuable features are the monitoring capabilities and how it provides time-to-time alerts, which are very beneficial. It is particularly helpful in providing alerts for tablespace issues or when databases or applications cross certain thresholds. The tool allows us to monitor 24/7, configure dashboards, and quickly check the status of databases that are in critical states. This saves time and enhances productivity.
