Cons
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,""Pushdown optimization could be improved.""Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time.""The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem.

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.""I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms.""The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult.""Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."

More Informatica PowerExchange Cons →

"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers.""If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly.""It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point.""The workflow could be improved.""Some error messages can be very cryptic.""The solution could use more online documentation for new users.""It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry.""They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
