"The most valuable features of Informatica PowerCenter are the ease of use, and development, and is simple to find resources."
"We use Informatica PowerCenter to transfer the transitional database to and from the data warehouse. This is very efficient as it enables us to quickly find our data reports and the data, so we can build AI models."
"It is very comprehensive in terms of connector and transformation capabilities from both a source and target perspective."
"It has very good monitoring and process monitoring."
"The number of docs has been reduced drastically, which is very good."
"Has a good visual tool for data mapping."
"It reduces a lot of legacy coding."
"The setup isn't too difficult."
"Oracle OBIEE is very easy to use. Looking at analytics, I think they have come a long way by adding new features like visualization, which is really cool."
"The “Business Model & Mapping” layer in the Administration Tool, because the maintenance and evolution processes are greatly facilitated."
"A great feature of the solution is its stability."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."
"The primary reason for using OBIEE is connectivity with Oracle E-Business Suite. It makes it easy to connect with our Oracle E-Business Suite. There are the standard dashboards available, which we sometimes use, and now we are looking for customized dashboards."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The solution's commercial cost is very high. Other open-source tools can do the tool's functions for free. The world is moving to the cloud, but the solution hasn't updated its drivers. I presume that its downfall will start soon. The tool is trying to cross-sell or upsell without helping customers derive benefits from the existing products. They have multiple tools and licenses. It is better to bring the smaller tools in one umbrella."
"It should be more cloud-centric than on-prem-centric."
"Now they are migrating to a new version, and they have something that is called Informatica Developer. Previously, they just had PowerCenter. Now, when they move everything to Informatica Developer it's not as good or stable like it was when it was PowerCenter, though it has some nice features. This Developer tool could be better."
"The UI is a little outdated."
"The UI is outdated and old-fashioned, at least in our current version. Also, we have experienced some stability issues with the Workflow Monitor application."
"The performance of Informatica PowerCenter could improve."
"PowerCenter could integrate better with cloud applications. We had to do a lot of configuration work using API integrations to connect with cloud applications. Informatica Cloud Data Integration has a generic connector that you can use directly, so it's much easier."
"This product is going to decommission in the next couple of years."
"Its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good."
"They should make the dashboard more intuitive."
"The complexity of this product means that you need to have a technical team to develop the reports, although this is also true for products like Microsoft BI and Zoho."
"Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"The performance could be better."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"I find I prefer Oracle OAC over OBIEE. It's more advanced, has artificial intelligence, and there's more that we can do with it in general. OBIEE is lacking features."
