Cons
"The product is not suitable for application integration.""Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved.""Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks.""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.""Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time.""The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required.""The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult.""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."

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."
