Facilitates seamless data exchange for Middle Eastern government entities while reducing costs and simplifying integration processes
Informatica PowerExchange is important for services and common services implementations. This allows workflow communication between different entities, providing proper services. The tool's governance features include HA rules, responsibilities, and policies which are highly valued. It also reduces the number of APIs needed for new integrations by offering a unified exchange platform that facilitates easy-to-use services without the need for coding.

A well-established product that meets all our specifications in terms of usability
In the initial stage when we went with Data Integrator Cloud Service it was primarily the nativity factor that was key for us. Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications, and the ability to configure activities and direct integration with various other Oracle products, were the main attractive features within ODI. This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications. It meets all our specifications in terms of usability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability is excellent."
"From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface."
"The product's initial setup phase was not complex. The tool is easy to install onto any of the servers, and you can integrate it."
"The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"It is a scalable and versatile solution."
"In terms of the return on investment, the tool is very helpful in the digital transformation process since multiple systems are available."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"The most valuable thing to me is its simplicity. A person with zero knowledge can also develop the integration without having extensive technology knowledgebase. They can also work on creating their own integration."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"The solution is easy to manage and offers good integration. You can run all the tasks one by one which is really helpful, and pick the day and time to do so."
"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes integration faster."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
 

Cons

"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"The major challenge associated with the tool is on the infrastructure side."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"I have minimal exposure to PowerExchange at this point."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"I would like to see different cloud adapters or connectors in case of integration. When you have Oracle to Oracle, they are good. They have really good connectors, but if it is a different ERP, like Obsidian, that is where they are faced with problems in OIC."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"Bulk uploading can be a problem when you hit the upper limit."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"It can be made much easier for users. They should be allowed to easily monitor the data extraction and flow, allowing them to observe real-time data flow within the software, making the process straightforward."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of PowerExchange is reasonable. It does not rely on complicated formulas or unrealistic equations. The pricing model is straightforward. There is one component, and real-time integration is included. Some other solutions require purchasing additional modules or third-party plugins for this capability."
"Many users don't prefer to use the product, considering the high costs attached to the licensing part of the solution."
"The product is not very expensive."
"An annual package license fee is required."
"There are licensing and connector costs. Basically, Informatica is pay-as-you-use."
"It's expensive. In fact, nobody would buy any product of Informatica if the price was the only consideration. It costs money, and it doesn't come cheap, but it provides value for money in many ways."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing cost of the product. It is an expensive product."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
