We performed a comparison between Domo and Informatica PowerCenter based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Domo has a lot of connections using APIs where you can use data from different databases, such as NoSQLs, SQL databases, and other connections. These connections exist to obtain data and transform whatever that you want."
"With ETL transformations in SQL lists, you often write a lot of queries. You have to build a bunch of code for the data. With Domo, one of the pieces we have is Magic ETL. In Magic ETL, you don't need to write code. You don't need to be a specialist in SQL or any database query language."
"All our client SLAs and daily and weekly dashboards are tracked on Domo."
"The solution is highly stable."
"I mostly see it as an ETL which has many system connectors. It does a good job of ETL."
"In Workbench 5, they have come up with a very useful feature called Upsert. When you're pushing data into the data set, if the data is already available it will update the data, and if that the data is not there it will insert it. That is a beneficial feature that they introduced in the latest version."
"The user interface is quite good."
"We have found securing data valuable because it allows us to provide information without identifying individuals."
"It's very easy to use it to develop mappings and workflows."
"The most valuable features are the metadata repository and the data warehouse application console."
"Once you figure it out, it is a powerful and simple ETL tool. Its stability has been very satisfactory."
"Good interface, reasonable documentation."
"Technical support is great. It's one of the reasons we really like them. When you compare support from IBM and support from Informatica, Informatica is much better."
"The technical support for Informatica PowerCenter is good."
"Has a good visual tool for data mapping."
"I like the completeness of the way I can build ETL workflows."
"I would like to be able to drill down more when there is a particular area where there is a problem. I don't clearly see that in Domo at the moment."
"There's a learning curve before you can get used to the solution."
"The forecasting feature, the regression features, and the Python libraries could all be improved. They're all in beta."
"When you're exporting a graph out of Domo — suppose it is in the form of a donut chart or it is in form of a stack — the data comes out in tabular format, not as a graph. When exporting the data, I would like them to create a tab for graphs and another tab with the data in tabular format."
"I would like to publish a dashboard for the employees so that they can also see the performance of our organization. But that is not a feature in Domo, although it's something that Zoho provided."
"I would like to see more dashboard creation options."
"The ETL way of storing is not up to mark. You have to rely on the naming convention that you're using in Domo because there are no folder systems where you can collate all your workflows and put them into separate folders. A folder system should be there so you can easily identify how you are working. Once you want to make some changes to your ETL, then you can see the whole lineage, identifying what is there and not there."
"Their organization or client service didn't always keep up... They took on more and more clients and the processes slowed down a little bit."
"Informatica PowerCenter is outdated and would benefit from modernization. They should have a very good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to AACF. Informatica PowerCenter there is no point in using it, you have to use a cloud version."
"Integrated Reporting service should be more smoothly transitioned from view to function to be in sync with the main design."
"The solution could have better documentation on basic steps or blocks that specify what to do."
"Informatica PowerCenter could improve on the documentation for the implementation. The documents provided are not very good for a new user."
"If you want to transfer a ZIP file, it is a pain. You need to use Command-Line. Sometimes we just want to transfer a file. It should be easy to move them from A to B."
"I would like to see it be able to import data from NoSQL."
"PowerCenter has three clients. I wish they would consolidate everything into one GUI, not three. Also, we had a persistent issue with the Informatica Developer tool but it was solved when we migrated to the newest one."
"The UI is a little outdated."
