Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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 scalability is excellent.""The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems.""The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far.""The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right.""The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine.""The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources."

"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud. Instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features.""GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."

Cons
"The solution needs better integration with other tools.""Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved.""V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working.""The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved.""They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized.""Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important.""The major shortcoming of PowerExchange is high availability and failover. None of the versions we've used to date have had the out-of-the-box ability to enable failover and high-availability requirements. This is a significant challenge and risk.""I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."

More Informatica PowerExchange Cons →

"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it.""More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful.""Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently.""Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "An annual package license fee is required."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."

  • "I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
