Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."The partitioning and optimization to help enhance our development is a very valuable aspect of Informatica PowerCenter."
"Once you have learned Informatica, it is very easy to use."
"The most complex task, in this case, was to read and transform BLOB data, and Java transformation in Informatica Power Center was a great solution."
"It has good standard features for ETL development."
"The number of docs has been reduced drastically, which is very good."
"I found the map links, work links, and workflows valuable. They are important features."
"We have found the PowerCenter and B2B data transformation most valuable."
"The setup is straightforward."
"It is able to create information dashboards for various users' throughout."
"It is a central source of up-to-date data and information."
"It reduces time to reproduce reports, provides easy access to organisational data, and has the ability to generate a wide range of reports and analysis."
"It should be more cloud-centric than on-prem-centric."
"Integration with Artificial Intelligence would benefit this solution."
"The solution must improve the integration with new services."
"If we could have the option of performance improvement within Informatica, and if it could have more features, that would be ideal."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
