The pricing and cost depend heavily on SAP's licensing structure, especially if using SAP integration services. Informatica is seen as broader in integrations.
There are licensing and connector costs. Basically, Informatica is pay-as-you-use. There is one product cost and then the additional number of connectors or applications to which you are connecting. You have to pay for it. There are separate licenses for Salesforce and some other tools. The price of the tool is high, especially when compared to similar products from Microsoft.
The product is not very expensive. However, the price can grow depending on the customer’s needs and the data feed they want. It depends on how many tables and ingestion pipelines the customers have. There is a different subscription for the cloud.

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. At the same time, you can't just consider the cost of the license. You also need to dedicate a lot of resources and provide real-time support. It's a journey that must be assessed from different angles, including licensing, maintenance after deployment, operational headaches, etc. You need to calculate the investment from different angles.
