Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."What I like the most is that we have to deal with less while writing the queries."
"I like the completeness of the way I can build ETL workflows."
"Once you have learned Informatica, it is very easy to use."
"It provides monitoring and we can therefore be aware of what is happening when we are handling jobs."
"Complex transformations can be easily achieved by using PowerCenter. The processing layer does transformations and other things. About 80% of my transformations can be achieved by using the middle layer. For the remaining 15% to 20% transformations, I can go in and create stored procedures in the respective databases. Mapplets is the feature through which we can reuse transformations across pipelines. Transformations and caching are the key features that we have been using frequently. Informatica PowerCenter is one of the best solutions or products in the data integration space. We have extensively used PowerCenter for integration purposes. We usually look at the best bridge solution in our architecture so that it can sustain for maybe a couple of years. Usually, we go with the solution that fits best and has proven and time-tested technology."
"The most valuable features of Informatica PowerCenter are the ease of use, and development, and is simple to find resources."
"The support is valuable. There are also open-source ETL products, which work very well, but there is no support. When we face a production problem, being able to get support is valuable, and it brings efficiency. With an open-source solution, we can't engage anyone to resolve the problem as quickly as possible."
"Can manage a huge quantity of data and provide reliability."
"The tool has good scalability and flexibility."
"The UI is outdated and old-fashioned, at least in our current version.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."
"There is a need to buy a separate license if one wishes to connect with some kind of SAP system, such as SalesForce."
"In terms of performance improvement and tuning, there should be a bit more guidance and documentation."
"This solution needs the functionality to do batch processing of data. It also lacks connectivity to NoSQL, unstructured data sources."
"The licensing is difficult."
"We had stability issues, mostly with JVM size."
"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."
"Requires an established data center because there is no option for software as a service."
"There are not many consultants who know the product."
