Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
The technical support from IBM is good.
Their support aligns with what I have experienced with Informatica data quality teams, and it is quite effective.
The support was good enough, and they were able to resolve all the issues I raised in the past.
I would rate the scalability of IBM App Connect as nine out of ten.
Technical errors sometimes occur, such as network breakages at the source level, which breaks connectivity.
I find it particularly good for on-premises and now cloud use.
One area that could be improved is performance, as PowerExchange sometimes has less performance compared to native connectors when dealing with a huge volume of data.
The pricing and cost depend heavily on SAP's licensing structure, especially if using SAP integration services.
The features I find most valuable are message routing, message transformation, and protocol translation.
PowerExchange is one of the best software solutions to build integrations with non-Oracle or standard database services, especially for SAP and Hana products.
The primary advantage of Informatica PowerExchange is being able to extract data from source systems that Informatica does not natively support.
Rapidly connect public clouds, private clouds and on-premises application
