Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."I like the automated scheduling feature."
"It has a Data Catalog that uses the Model repository."
"It is UI friendly and has all the advantages of an ETL tool."
"Easy, scalable, robust platform to integrate heterogeneous source platform's data into the unified data warehouse."
"It's very easy to use it to develop mappings and workflows."
"It is easy to use, and it is quick for developing things. It is fairly powerful, and it can integrate with a lot of different platforms without much hassle."
"In the end, you have structured, proper data for use in an integrated BI solution."
"The solution is stable."
"OpenAPI supported me integrating Oracle Warehouse Builder with DevOps solutions like versioning (CVS, Subversion, and Git), ticket systems (Bugzilla and Jira), and test automatization (HPQC) as well as with professional ALM solutions (HP ALM and IKAN ALM)."
"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."
"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."
"Informatica PowerCenter is outdated and would benefit from modernization. They should have a very good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to AACF. Informatica PowerCenter there is no point in using it, you have to use a cloud version."
"What needs improvement in Informatica PowerCenter is the cloud experience because, nowadays, other companies, such as AWS, Azure, and Google, have more experience in the cloud. The pricing for Informatica PowerCenter on the cloud is also very expensive for customers, so some customers prefer open-source tools or lower-priced tools, such as Azure. From my point of view, Informatica must work on the pricing policy and review the policy on the cloud for Informatica PowerCenter or propose more tools with lower pricing. Clients want the automatic integration of Informatica PowerCenter with other tools. Currently, the integration process is manual, and you have to add other tools to facilitate the integration, especially with the DevOps methodology. You need scripts and tools for the integration, and you'll need to use other integration tools if you want automatic deployment for Informatica PowerCenter, so this is another area for improvement in the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for the integration with APIs to be simpler, because currently, the API integration feature of Informatica PowerCenter is very difficult. It's not intuitive. You have to facilitate API integration and the real-time streaming of messages in Kafka, for example, so that should be improved."
"We had stability issues, mostly with JVM size."
"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."
"In terms of performance improvement and tuning, there should be a bit more guidance and documentation."
"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."
"Unfortunately, a next release of Oracle Warehouse Builder will not happen but a wide range of customers still use the available features together with the current Oracle 11g or 12c database environments."
