Featured Reviews

Lars Borchers - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable and reliable product that provides a variety of features for data integration
The solution is not for newcomers. It has an old touch. The solution must improve the integration with new services. It was part of the program at Informatica when they moved to their cloud platform. It is integrated. However, from an on-premise perspective, we need to buy licenses for PowerExchange. If we want a native driver to access a special service, we need to extend our license to those services. It is expensive. I don't like that it's not all included in the solution.

Provides users with an initial setup phase, which is fairly simple to manage
I don't know what could be improved in terms of what my company was used to previously or after moving over to Rivery. I have not had much experience with platforms other than Rivery. For me, Rivalry was a way to step up from what we used. To be honest, I am not really sure what improvements could be made in Rivery. Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better. I am not aware if there are additional packages for smaller organizations, but if there are no packages available, then maybe that would be a good way to introduce something new in the tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Informatica PowerCenter has been implementing mapping design, data flow, and workflow execution for years."
"We have found the PowerCenter and B2B data transformation most valuable."
"My overall experience with Informatica PowerCenter is positive."
"The technical support is excellent."
"In the end, you have structured, proper data for use in an integrated BI solution."
"What I like most about Informatica PowerCenter is that it's the best tool in the market for data integration. Currently, I work in L'Oréal, where a new system from SAP is used. Informatica PowerCenter integration with SAP is very, very fast and very, very simple, so you have the server flow from SAP, and through Informatica PowerCenter, you can ingest the data and make that data available for the business more quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the new Data Lake feature, which provides the basic capabilities needed."
"I like the completeness of the way I can build ETL workflows."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
"Connects to many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
 

Cons

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, considering the fact that the present licensing charges of the tool are expensive."
"Its scalability can be improved. It is not scalable."
"Informatica, in my opinion, is very rigid and not very flexible, whereas platforms like Alteryx or Matillion are very flexible and agile."
"If we could have the option of performance improvement within Informatica, and if it could have more features, that would be ideal."
"Integrated Reporting service should be more smoothly transitioned from view to function to be in sync with the main design."
"If you want to transfer a ZIP file, it is a pain. You need to use Command-Line. Sometimes we just want to transfer a file. It should be easy to move them from A to B."
"We had to take on a large volume of data from the legacy Sybase system. This was taking a very long time, i.e., more than a day. We were trying to improve it with partitions to gpload, but we were told that we can't go more than four partitions."
"I would like to see it be able to import data from NoSQL."
"Lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"Price-wise, it's more expensive than SSIS, but it's a better tool, so it has more features. Licensing is on a yearly basis."
"We have found the pricing very cost-effective. The licensing is CPU and data source-based."
"I rate the product's price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"We are using an annual license for Informatica PowerCenter."
"Its maintenance is expensive."
"The price of Informatica PowerCenter is expensive, but it does give value."
"Our client has purchased the license, and we are using it."
"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
