Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The most valuable aspects of Informatica PowerCenter are the many features, ease of use, and user-friendliness."
"The most valuable features of Informatica PowerCenter are the ease of use, and development, and is simple to find resources."
"The reliability of the product and the way of orchestration of different services is valuable to us."
"It provides everything I need. Nothing is missing. PowerCenter is a good tool for on-premise databases."
"It has good standard features for ETL development."
"It has a Data Catalog that uses the Model repository."
"Once you figure it out, it is a powerful and simple ETL tool. Its stability has been very satisfactory."
"The most complex task, in this case, was to read and transform BLOB data, and Java transformation in Informatica Power Center was a great solution."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"It is a scalable solution."
"Areas for improvement in Informatica PowerCenter include scalability and high availability or the clustering configuration because that's still very basic. The elasticity or scaling of the platform needs a lot of improvement. For example, when it comes to DR handling or building an active-active or active-passive cluster, Informatica PowerCenter is still not that powerful. Automation also needs improvement in the solution. Improving automation leads to some improvement in the stability of Informatica PowerCenter and other aspects related to it. What I'd like to see in the next release of Informatica PowerCenter is real-time capability because the solution is mainly for patches, and to have real-time integration, you need to count on some additional components from Informatica. I would expect more integration and a complete platform in terms of real-time capability or patching with minimal interventions or minimal components to be aligned together."
"The UI is a little outdated."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve by having a single interface because half of the system is still in the legacy interface and many other elements are moved to the developer client. It would be good if there was a single interface for the end user and developers."
"What I didn't like about it is that the platform itself is not great at distributed processing. When you need high parallel processing, it has some inherent issues. We had to use Java transformation, and it did not go very well. I have heard that it is going to the cloud, but we haven't tried that."
"The reputation of Informatica is that it is expensive."
"It would be nice to have all tools in one place. CDC needs more effort, as it's only easy to develop if you are familiar with Linux."
"Requires an established data center because there is no option for software as a service."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
