"There can be scalability issues. Huge amounts of data ingestion will impact performance."
"The solution must improve the integration with new services."
"Its interface can be modernized. It is an old product. I have been working with it for 14 years, and it still looks the same. It hasn't been modernized much. It also needs to handle more modern formats, such as JSON files. It works with the old text files and databases, but it does not always work with the newer, modern stuff. You need to make your own programs to support that kind of stuff. Support is also a kind of difficult with Informatica. They don't do direct support and rely on using their distributors around the globe for support, which means that you kind of have to go through this layer of different companies before you get help."
"Informatica PowerCenter is outdated and would benefit from modernization.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."
"Integrating new tools can be tricky and challenging."
"If we could have the option of performance improvement within Informatica, and if it could have more features, that would be ideal."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
