Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."UI-based ability to create data mapping."
"The features I find most valuable is that the solution is very user-friendly and the graphical design is very easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica PowerCenter is data transformation and user-friendliness."
"It provides everything I need. Nothing is missing. PowerCenter is a good tool for on-premise databases."
"Once you have learned Informatica, it is very easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is UI friendly and has all the advantages of an ETL tool."
"It seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them."
"It offers a wide range of analytics options including statistics and visualizations, as well as prediction capabilities, allowing users to make forecasts based on the latest data."
"I think the most valuable Pyramid Analytics feature is the solution's ability to drill down and dice in the loop. I think it is better than InExcel or Power BI."
"The on-premise version has quite good scalability."
"Pyramid has a wide level of uses, as it's a complete ETL process and has a good level of connecting to a lot of data sources."
"The features I find most valuable are 'Discover,' 'Formulate,' and 'Model.' I use them regularly to build logic and create reports for my job."
"The most valuable feature of Pyramid Analytics, outshining even top-tier platforms like Power BI, is its robust support for DAX queries."
"It proved to be a very powerful and useful tool due to its breakdown capabilities, easy reporting features, flexibility in building custom calculations, and the ability to integrate them into reports."
"It should be more cloud-centric than on-prem-centric."
"Integration with Artificial Intelligence would benefit this solution."
"The real-time database connectivity when getting the real-time data using the VPN is an area that needs improvement."
"In the future, I would like to see Informatica PowerCenter integrate a more powerful dashboard."
"Support could be better."
"There is some room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"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."
"As a connector to big data, it is not well developed. We've had problems connecting Informatica with Hadoop. The functionality to connect Informatica with Hadoop, for me it's not good."
"There is room for improvement in terms of documentation and examples, especially for newcomers like me who are learning both business intelligence and Pyramid."
"Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets."
"I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI."
"The general amount of negative comments that I am hearing from my team makes me very wary."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the user interface, particularly when it comes to modifying connections between filters and visual components in a dashboard."
"Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved."
"I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers."
"It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields."
