The Infortica ETL process makes the job of a DBA / DBM very easy. > > **Cons**: Well, I cannot remember any cons. Power Center is very good. Informatica did an awesome job. ----- ### "One of the best ETL ( Extract, Transform, Load) Tools" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 May 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Able to process a huge record size. In the latest project, we used Informatica to load approx 5 Million records daily. There were no performance issues due to the data size. 2. . PowerCenter has very easy to use drag and drop interface which can be used in integration with other applications. 3. Good tool to manage legacy data and to make compatible with modern applications. 4. PowerCenter also has other additional features like the ability to profile data, visualize graphical data flow etc. Data validation can also be done very easily using the validation feature. > > **Cons**: There is a huge licensing fee which is worth it as the product is one of the best ETL tools, but projects which smaller budget find it challenging to justify the cost. ----- ### "POWERCENTER: The old legacy to be avoided" — 2.0/5 > **Joan** | *17 April 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: If you are a PowerCenter expert you can do almost any data transformation. > > **Cons**: It is very complex and difficult to use. Super expensive and with minimal suport. ----- ### "Informatica - Performance with ease" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 December 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of development, debugging, migrating and maintaining the code. Heavy duty performer and can scale to perform multi-threading. > > **Cons**: It does not have strong ELT features or market - so cannot leverage the high computing capability. Still based out of legacy ETL process which needs to be migrated. > > I have been working on the tool since last 8+ years and the tool has never failed me. I could design almost everything i could think of in terms of data flow and transformations. ----- ### "A complete integration platform with a high focus on ETL/ELT processes" — 4.0/5 > **Daniel** | *21 November 2016* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great support and knowledge base. Easy to learn > > **Cons**: Currently the managing of EII processes (like Restful or SOAP) are not well supported by the on-premise solution. > > If you need to do a fast ETL/ELT process and you do not want complications, this is your application. Informatics (on-premises) is quick to deploy and you can start to develop your process really quickly. The Informatica Knowled Base is very complete and you can find in it some templates to use. In all the development process, you can see and following the data per each transformation. You can launch a part of the process, simulating the data output. The quality of the solution is fantastic and his support is great, they usually respond to a problem in hours. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/117/powercenter?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/117/powercenter) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
