Powerful tool for data processing

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The tool is very user friendly. The best thing is when you work on it and try to save a mapping or something you can easily check whether the process is correct up to that step or not and according to that you can proceed further.
What do you dislike about the product?
The visualization might be improved, I mean the interface of that software. They can work on the visualization part to make it more user friendly. One more aspect I want to include that when I work on it sometimes data might be lost for some time due to synchronization issues which may be resolved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped me to establish a connection from a Unix server to a database server which was very required for my project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very potential tool for mapping and visualization of your data, you should consider it as it is a very powerful tool.

Legacy ETL Tool With Most Powerful Features.

  • November 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
More user-friendly, you may find that you have good capacity in data bases to solve problems when using SQL in Source qualifiers and that good maintenance can be done by using a private access capability to your own creation, that allows you to load, manage and flow data from one source into the aim, which may also become a source for other table information.
What do you dislike about the product?
Further technologies for data transformation can be used, however, other transformations such as SCD, normalization for younger people are difficult to comprehend, python scripts support or networking support or publications should include.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For about 3 years I've been working on this tool and the overall experience was good. Because it offers traditional capabilities and is easier to implement when you get the insight of it, this was a tool or set of tools for all ETL projects before the big data came.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Informatica PowerCenter has been one of the best data management devices over the years. The statistics it has produced have shown that this tool is the best tool in its use, its loyalty and its support. Since every company manages the humorous information every day, tools like Informatica have an important role to play to handle this data. Informatica PowerCentre is constructed on a structure such that data can be loaded from any source and loaded to target systems as required. This method allows some form of data integration to be accomplished.

Informatica PowerCenter: total power for your data.

  • October 24, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
An authentic program without a doubt, I love its ease of use. In addition to having a capacity to integrate with security systems that provide confidence. Another point in favor is that the types of data and its analysis handle it optimally. In other words, your system is incredible since I can extract data from the emission systems and modify them so that they fit into a destination system and then distribute the data later. In addition to being very fluid and with excellent search filters.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the most notable failures is that the automation system has errors or functionalities. I still have time in my daily jobs not to have automated processes in some program specifications. In addition the use of memory is very high during its execution, therefore it is necessary to have an optimal equipment to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for the purpose of generating flat files from different sources or loading data from systems previously given to us. It also serves as support for end users in various commercial departments. At data levels and report conclusions this tool is class A for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It has an incredible database level, this program can be cataloged as a powerful analyzer and report generator. It is ideal for migrating data between sources and with solid characteristics throughout the industry. Informatica Powercenter is in incredible conditions ahead of many of its competitors I dare to say.
