"I like modeling and code generation. It has become a pretty handy tool because of its short ideation to delivery time. From the time you decide you are modeling a data warehouse, and once you finish the modeling, it generates all the code, generates all the tables. All you have to do is tick a few things, and you can produce a fully functional warehouse. I also like that they have added all the features I have asked for over four years.""There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms.""One of the most valuable features of this tool is its automation capabilities, allowing us to design the warehouse in an automated manner. Additionally, we can generate Data Lifecycle Policies (DLP) reports and efficiently implement updates and best practices based on proven design patterns.""I have found it to be a very good, stable, and strong product.""As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem. It's good.""One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions.""Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive.""It can scale."

Cons
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important.""The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved.""The product is not suitable for application integration.""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.""Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time.""Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved.""Pushdown optimization could be improved.""I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."

"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better.""It would be better if the first level of technical support were a bit more technically knowledgeable to solve the problem. I think they could also improve the injection of custom scripts. It is pretty difficult to add additional scripts. If the modeling doesn't give you what you want, and you want to change the script generated by the modeling, it is a bit more challenging than in most other products. It is very good with standard form type systems, but if you get a more complicated data paradigm, it tends to struggle with transforming that into a model.""There should be proper documentation available for the implementation process.""The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring.""It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it.""There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help.""I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved.""My issues with the solution's stability are owing to the fact that it has certain bugs causing issues in some functionalities that should be working."

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."
