Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."We can scale the product."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica PowerCenter is the flow designer functionally. It is the best out of any ETL tool. Additionally, the solution is reliable and trustable in dealing with large data sources anytime. When we're using billions of data transactions, it's smooth."
"It has helped us monetize."
"The most valuable aspects of Informatica PowerCenter are the many features, ease of use, and user-friendliness."
"Informatica PowerCenter is very good for integrating a huge amount of data in a very short duration, such as a minute. It is also very easy to use. After you provide the source and the target, mappings are automatically done, which makes it easy to use for the development team."
"I like the automated scheduling feature."
"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."
"Informatica PowerCenter has been implementing mapping design, data flow, and workflow execution for years."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"The documentation could be improved."
"PowerCenter could be improved by having more big data components. Normally, we prefer Informatica as a relational database, but nowadays, companies are trying to understand and use big data components. I think it would be useful if we had more chances to create a hub ecosystem because customers try to use some data integration tasks by SQL, Spark and Spark codes, and Scala, but at the end of the day, the company will understand that we need to trace all the steps. An ETL tool is a must for that company, if we're talking about the regulated industries like finance, telcos, etc. If Informatica's biggest ecosystems feature were okay, I would prefer to use it."
"There can be scalability issues. Huge amounts of data ingestion will impact performance."
"Integrated Reporting service should be more smoothly transitioned from view to function to be in sync with the main design."
"Support could be better."
"In terms of performance improvement and tuning, there should be a bit more guidance and documentation."
"They should release new versions for the solution's on-premises setup."
"I would like to see it be able to import data from NoSQL."
"The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"The stability of the solution could improve when running jobs. There can be errors when running projects but in the end, it works well and the errors do not impact the result."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
