We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerExchange and Talend Data Fabric 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."The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems."
"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."
"Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation."
"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 scalability is excellent."
"Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources."
"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools."
"We've had no issues with the stability so far."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."
"The Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"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."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time."
"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."
"I would like to see better integration with other tools."
"We are currently using version 7.3.1, but preferred the version before. The problem that we currently have is that Talend are releasing patches for Talend Studio every quarter. Our technical team has to be on top of these patches and constantly ensure everything is updated."
"We encounter issues getting email notifications. They should provide enough information about the configuration process for email components."
