We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerExchange and Oracle Integration Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability is excellent."
"The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right."
"The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."
"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 flexibility is valuable."
"The Oracle integration tool is the most comfortable tool for using those Oracle products."
"The initial setup of Oracle Integration Cloud Service was easy."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Integration Cloud Service are the seeded integrations with many communication platforms, such as Slack and emails. It works best for the historical communication methods. Those are still prevalent with all the other clients. When we are doing the integrations, it makes it a little bit easier for us to communicate the same output over Slack, rather than sending out an email and downloading the report. The number of seeded functionalities within the Oracle Integration Cloud Service platform is better."
"The lack of features in something like Oracle Integration Cloud leaves some room for leads implementation partners like us"
"It's very easy to get started on the solution. It's also easy to maintain, scale, and integrate according to cost factors."
"Technical support responds quickly."
"The out-of-box integration between Oracle and SAP is really beneficial"
"I would like the stability to improve."
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"We would love to have more and more ready-to-use interfaces from Oracle."
"Configurable timeouts on each connection would be good."
"The logging capabilities could be enhanced. Currently, logs are only retained for a few days, which can be inconvenient for administrators. Ideally, we'd like the option to configure log retention periods, like a month or fifteen days, instead of the current one-week limit."
"While most of the adapters are available through Oracle Integration Cloud Services, they do not have a lot of features. I would like to see some enrichment in this area and for the solution to go deeper into the applications and upgrade the adapters."
"If an inbound file is larger than one GB, it cannot be transformed within Oracle."
"The solution doesn't currently have a fully fledged workflow feature like they have in OIM."
"They should provide tutorials for beginners to learn about the processes."
"Our client was quite concerned about the cost, which is something that could be reduced."
