We performed a comparison between Informatica Data Integration Hub and Informatica PowerCenter 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 MDM solution is capable of integrating multiple systems, so it helped us to solve the purpose of centralizing the depository as well as the standardization of mass data. It takes away all the ambiguity around data integrity issues or all the process challenges which happen when every stage of a process uses a different source as master data."
"The technical support services are good."
"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly."
"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."
"The performance and design of Informatica have been very valuable. I find the performance faster than, say, Oracle Data Integrator or DataStage."
"It's a very powerful tool you can use to load data, get data, do the drawing between the tables, and put into the packet in a very fast way."
"I would recommend that others considering the solution go ahead and use it for any batch and high volume loads with complex transactions."
"The setup is very simple."
"It is UI friendly and has all the advantages of an ETL tool."
"The number of docs has been reduced drastically, which is very good."
"Informatica PowerCenter is very good for integrating a huge amount of data in a very short duration, such as a minute. It is also very easy to use. After you provide the source and the target, mappings are automatically done, which makes it easy to use for the development team."
"The initial setup was not very straightforward. Not complex, but not very simple either."
"They could provide more robust performance for data integration processes. It would help in improving the data quality more efficiently."
"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions."
"It would be good to recreate the entire interface to make it easier for users to build workflows."
"Its scalability can be improved. It is not scalable."
"PowerCenter could integrate better with cloud applications. We had to do a lot of configuration work using API integrations to connect with cloud applications. Informatica Cloud Data Integration has a generic connector that you can use directly, so it's much easier."
"The real-time database connectivity when getting the real-time data using the VPN is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution must improve the integration with new services."
"PowerCenter has three clients. I wish they would consolidate everything into one GUI, not three. Also, we had a persistent issue with the Informatica Developer tool but it was solved when we migrated to the newest one."
"It should be more cloud-centric than on-prem-centric."
"Requires an established data center because there is no option for software as a service."
