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 scalability is excellent."
"The product's initial setup phase was not complex. The tool is easy to install onto any of the servers, and you can integrate it."
"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable."
"This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
"It is very stable. It is a market leader, and it has connectors to many of the legacy systems. It also has enterprise cloud connectors."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"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."
"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 solution to be integrated into the cloud."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
