Informatica PowerCenter Reviews

What I like the most is that we have to deal with less while writing the queries.

The unstructured data can now be imported into Informatica PowerCenter. This is an achievement for them.

I would like to see it be able to import data from NoSQL.

I have been using Informatica PowerCenter for approximately three months.

It's a stable product.

We are using this solution for seven to eight hours per day. We are using it frequently.

Informatica is scalable, it's perfect. There are no changes required for this solution.

We have not had any issues with technical support. They are fine.

I started coding in SQL, then looked up Informatica directly.

The initial setup is not that complex.

It takes less than a day but more than an hour to deploy this solution.

We are satisfied with the pricing. The licensing is on a yearly basis.

I would definitely recommend this to my friends as well as anyone who is interested in using this solution.

I would rate Informatica PowerCenter a ten out of ten.

We like that it is cloud-based and the performance is good. The number of docs has been reduced drastically, which is very good.

If you were migrating or connecting with multiple sources, initially there were issues that caused network latency. In the latest version, there are fewer bugs.

The real-time database connectivity when getting the real-time data using the VPN is an area that needs improvement.

Being able to generate reports on all of the status of the monitoring tools and the job qualities would be very helpful to provide to the operational team.

I have been working with Informatica PowerCenter for 12 years.

We are using version 10.4.1, which is the latest version.

It is very stable. It's a solution that has been in place for 20 or 22 years.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy.

When compared with Linux or Windows, it was very easy and simple to install.

It takes two days maximum to implement one nanometer.

When compared with other ETL or ELP tools, Informatica PowerCenter is the best for connecting to multiple sources, which is better when you have large loads. 

I would definitely rate Informatica PowerCenter a nine out of ten.

We use it for ETL. We have multiple systems, we extract the data, and create a report from it. 

If the systems get migrated or upgraded, the amount of resources required are very minimal. We can change the connections and establish a new connection. It's very helpful.

We need another tool for monitoring. It would be easier if all the features were consolidated into one tool.

I have been using PowerCenter for two years. 

We don't have any problems with scalability. You can increase the nodes and it has good performance. 

We have around 25 users. 

We have two to three employees for maintenance. 

I haven't had much experience with Informatica's support. We haven't had any issues that we needed their help for. 

The initial setup was complex. It depends on the security you're working on. There are no pre-defined rules. We have to create the rules and then start working on it. 

It's very expensive. We have other tools that are more reasonably priced. PowerCenter is very costly. 

I would recommend PowerCenter depending on the use case. 

I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

We are using Informatica PowerCenter for data integration in a health insurance company.

The most valuable aspects of Informatica PowerCenter are the many features, ease of use, and user-friendliness.

The performance of Informatica PowerCenter could improve.

I have been using Informatica PowerCenter for approximately five years.

Informatica PowerCenter is a stable solution.

I have found Informatica PowerCenter to be scalable.

I have not used the technical support from Informatica PowerCenter.

We have used Data Quality, EDC, Axon, and Metadata Manager.

The initial installation of Informatica PowerCenter was straightforward. The amount of time it takes for the process depends on the deployment site, and how many maps, workflows, and tables there are.

The time it took used for the deployment was approximately two hours.

For the implementation of Informatica PowerCenter, we used one or two developers and one person from the DBA team.

I did not evaluate other options.

I rate Informatica PowerCenter an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case of this solution is for building data warehouses for clients with data visualization tools. We need to pull data from other sources so we use Informatica as the ETL. The solution is generally deployed on-prem but sometimes on cloud. 

The solution provides good performance with an easy to use interface and reasonable documentation.

One of the things that I found lacking is that there should be some sort of a calculator where you can input your requirements regarding the number of data switches required, number of users, and the number of data switches in order to get a general idea of cost. It would save me time rather than having to run to the company to get the information. 

The solution is stabl. 

It's a scalable solution. 

I haven't had any issues with technical support. 

This is an expensive solution.

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

We use this solution for ETL processes.

It has a very good graphical interface.

It has the possibility to intervene in the automatic ETL. 

It has a lot of components. 

It has a Data Catalog that uses the Model repository.

The pricing could be improved.

I have been providing Informatica PowerCenter since 2005.

Informatica PowerCenter is a very stable product.

Technical support could be faster.

The latest versions are easy to install because it's cloud-based. You needed approximately four hours to install the older versions.

It's quite expensive.

Our customers pay a licensing fee yearly.

I would recommend this solution to others. It is also a question of the purpose and how big the company is. It's an investment.

I would rate Informatica PowerCenter a nine out of ten.

PowerCenter has yet to announce additional features. The face that it has not made improvements is fine, as it is very easy to integrate. We are in touch with the vendors of products other than Informatica PowerCenter. 

The reason I chose to rate the solution as a nine out of ten is because there is a need to buy a separate license if one wishes to connect with some kind of SAP system, such as SalesForce. 

I've been using Informatica PowerCenter for more than 16 years.

The technical support is excellent.

The initial setup is easy.

The price is mostly reasonable.
