We performed a comparison between Boomi iPaaS and Informatica PowerCenter based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the tool's optimization feature."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"It has been a stable product."
"Informatica PowerCenter is a very good ETL tool."
"The partitioning and optimization to help enhance our development is a very valuable aspect of Informatica PowerCenter."
"What I like most about Informatica PowerCenter is that it's the best tool in the market for data integration. Currently, I work in L'Oréal, where a new system from SAP is used. Informatica PowerCenter integration with SAP is very, very fast and very, very simple, so you have the server flow from SAP, and through Informatica PowerCenter, you can ingest the data and make that data available for the business more quickly."
"The ability to scale through partitions helped us to improve the performance."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica PowerCenter is data transformation and user-friendliness."
"The support is valuable. There are also open-source ETL products, which work very well, but there is no support. When we face a production problem, being able to get support is valuable, and it brings efficiency. With an open-source solution, we can't engage anyone to resolve the problem as quickly as possible."
"Once you have learned Informatica, it is very easy to use."
"Among all the solutions I have used, I found Informatica PowerCenter to be much more stable in terms of application."
"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required."
"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There can be scalability issues. Huge amounts of data ingestion will impact performance."
"It should be more cloud-centric than on-prem-centric."
"Integration with Artificial Intelligence would benefit this solution."
"The documentation could be improved."
"Integrated Reporting service should be more smoothly transitioned from view to function to be in sync with the main design."
"This product is going to decommission in the next couple of years."
"What needs improvement in Informatica PowerCenter is the cloud experience because, nowadays, other companies, such as AWS, Azure, and Google, have more experience in the cloud. The pricing for Informatica PowerCenter on the cloud is also very expensive for customers, so some customers prefer open-source tools or lower-priced tools, such as Azure. From my point of view, Informatica must work on the pricing policy and review the policy on the cloud for Informatica PowerCenter or propose more tools with lower pricing. Clients want the automatic integration of Informatica PowerCenter with other tools. Currently, the integration process is manual, and you have to add other tools to facilitate the integration, especially with the DevOps methodology. You need scripts and tools for the integration, and you'll need to use other integration tools if you want automatic deployment for Informatica PowerCenter, so this is another area for improvement in the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for the integration with APIs to be simpler, because currently, the API integration feature of Informatica PowerCenter is very difficult. It's not intuitive. You have to facilitate API integration and the real-time streaming of messages in Kafka, for example, so that should be improved."
"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."
