Scalable platform with efficient data set creation features
It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category. Our customers want to improve the business into a SaaS model. They analyze the telecom-based transaction data with SaaS, including the number of subscribers, usage of 4G and 5G networks, etc. The platform improved data analysis for our customers by providing a visualization library. We can drag visualization graphs to create weekly sessions. There is no need to implement any extra coding. It has no code interface allowing us to track the dimensions and measure the canvas. It automatically generates the chat once we select the graph. The most efficient features are data set creation and data manipulation. We can directly use the raw data table and summarize it dynamically by processing the data manipulation window. SQL Editor enhances the data scoring process, helping us write queries directly during dashboard discrepancy issues. We can store the query for future analysis as well. It enables a customizable integration with other data sources. The main benefit of using the product is the ability to access the data source without using any coding. Any user can create reports easily with minimal training. I recommend Apache Superset for customers who are considering open-source vendors. I rate it an eight out of ten.

"It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category."
"When you click on any chart, you can apply the filter without any effort."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Superset is the easy way to configure dashboards as reports or analyses and it's easy to use and intuitive. Users do not need a lot of training to use the solution."
"The no-code interface is the most valuable as it allows us to operate without constant support from the data engineering team, fostering a self-service environment."
"I like the completeness of the way I can build ETL workflows."
"The most valuable features are the metadata repository and the data warehouse application console."
"It has very good monitoring and process monitoring."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The number of docs has been reduced drastically, which is very good."
"Has a good visual tool for data mapping."

Cons

"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"With Apache Superset, we had some problems with the permissions when we had too many users."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."

"Lacks ability to calculate cost of the product."
"While Informatica is great for data-integration, it does not have any analytics features. Thus, organizations have to always look for another product for their BI needs."
"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 only problem with this product is the level of complexity with the number of levels of transformation that you have to go through."
"They should release new versions for the solution's on-premises setup."
"Improvement is needed in terms of some new transformation because API integration and all those things are very critical nowadays."
"I would like to see an improvement in the digital adoption."

"Informatica PowerCenter is reasonably priced. It is less expensive than Pentaho. There is a standard version fee in Taiwan. It is a one-time yearly subscription price that is approximately $3,010 US dollars for three users."
"According to what I've heard and read on various blogs, it's quite expensive when compared to similar competitive products."
"Its licensing is expensive in terms of scaling."
"We have found the pricing very cost-effective. The licensing is CPU and data source-based."
