"ETL tool with wide range of transformations and ability to connect multiple source systems"
4/5
What do you like best about Informatica PowerCenter?

It is a great ETL tool that can ingest data from multiple sources, perform transformations, and then load it to target systems with drag-and-drop options. Different tools are available for monitoring and repository management and workflow designing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Informatica PowerCenter?

Sometimes it stops responding, and the user interface is not that modern. It isn't easy to work using a touchpad for dragging and dropping, and we need a mouse to work efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could have been made a lot more simpler and other informatica tools such as DSM would have been an inbuilt feature rather than having a different product itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are times when the performance of informatica powercenter might not be best when compared to the underlined database., but I have observed in such cases the developers push the entire logic to a database for performance optimization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best ETL Tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Informatica PowerCenter?

It is quite easy to use once you get a hang of it and has a bunch of features. although initially it is indeed a bit overwhelming with a lot of things and one can take months to get aware of most of the features(not all). Have the option of selecting different types of sources and targets and can integrate with other applications as well. Integration of different databases all under one roof is very nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Informatica PowerCenter?

**Several times the error logs, when the session fails are not very intuitive and one has to dig deep in order to figure out where the problem is. There should maybe some kind of better documentation to help resolve issues.

**Also, it's a bit pricey, I think, especially from the smaller firms' POV. So, if it wishes to in-future provide for the smaller firms as well, maybe a different kind of less expensive model would be great.

**Also, sometimes the designer gets stuck, whenever I try to open some repository that might be having several sub-folders, it takes several minutes to just open one repository.

**And sometimes it gets stuck on the designer in a particular mapping and becomes unresponsive and one has no option but to completely close it and open it again in Citrix, and maybe at times, lose the changes done to a particular mapping as well.

** The UI might need to be modernized a bit, since it seems pretty old Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredibly faster data integration and data replication tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Informatica PowerCenter?

I have been using this tool for more than two years for processing structured and semi-structured data into Teradata data warehouse. I have been involved in various Data Integration, Data Management, Data Migration using this, and I find the UI to be friendlier. It has a lot of components and functionalities that will help you to achieve almost everything related to transforming data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Informatica PowerCenter?

If you are processing less volume of records from ODBC, then it might lag its performance. Does not have much scheduling options for the workflows. Needs additional hardware while partitioning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Standard ETL Tool in Industry"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Informatica PowerCenter?

Best thing I liked about Informatica is its mapping options and user interface it is providing. It provides many ways to implement your job. The performance and data transformation options it is providing are at its best. The connections and compatibility with different databases is so good. One can easily understand Informatica because of its simplicity yet standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Informatica PowerCenter?

I felt like everything we have to do on our own and it is not doing any automatic things and we have to consider many things while developing which will take our tome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
