"This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"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 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 transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable."
"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."
"The technical support is excellent."
"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features."
"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."
"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"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 solution needs better integration with other tools."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time."
"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
