The stability of the solution is one of its best features. The user interface is also very good.

What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
The cost and set up of the licenses could be improved. You need a lot of different licenses, depending on your setup, and it gets expensive. For example, we're connected with Oracle, be we need licenses for that plus the core server, Terradata, etc. It gets costly.
There's also a feature that exists on IBM DataStage called CDC. It's not on Informatica PowerCenter, but if they could add a feature similar to this in the next release, it would be useful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for nine years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable.
