Informatica API and Application Integration Pros and Cons

The seamless integration with other applications was very helpful. Also, their flexible platform offers easy to use designers and out-of-the-box features which helps a lot for learning developers and testers. What I like most about them was that they offer many useful products under a hood such as data quality, data masking services so that you don't have to look for external tools for such use cases.

Offerings such as Cloud Data Integration provides a complete ETL solution. However, the Cloud Application Integration adds value as an orchestration platform. This removes the overhead of using any coding platform such as Unix, python and GUI-based interface provides a unique drag drop kind of experience.

The Mass Ingestion service is an add-on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many use-cases are not handled for which we had to raise multiple cases with Informatica. And the main aspect is the Feature Request created sometimes takes longer than usual which could be improved, by at least providing ETA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Informatica cloud application is a newly introduced feature that hosts the client of Informatica on the cloud. There is no need to install the client on the local system. The ability to use Informatica power center or power exchange or big data platform on cloud is quite an appealing aspect. The features of data transformation, source analyzer, target definition, and constraint-based loading could be easily implemented using Informatica cloud. There is no need to maintain the power center icons as a local desktop application after the cloud integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Informatica cloud application could not be accessed if the cloud link is down. There is need to install the client on the local system in this case and have the server instance on a non cloud layer. The dependency on cloud to be available actively at all the time during end to end implementation in Informatica could be viewed as an overhead. Also, the license cost of Informatica is always on the higher side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
