Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the monitoring tools and the reporting manager."
"It provides monitoring and we can therefore be aware of what is happening when we are handling jobs."
"Enterprise-scale ETL solution that's very stable and is easy to scale. It integrates and connects with multiple new systems, both structured and semi-structured."
"The reliability of the product and the way of orchestration of different services is valuable to us."
"The most complex task, in this case, was to read and transform BLOB data, and Java transformation in Informatica Power Center was a great solution."
"Informatica PowerCenter is a very good ETL tool."
"One of the most valuable features for us is the metadata repository because it can easily understand the lineage of first target mapping. My company and I also find Informatica really easy to use—when a consultant joins our company, in just a few days to a few weeks, they can understand how to use it—so we prefer to use this ETL tool."
"The solution is stable."
"I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show."
"We really like that it's user friendly and has a lot of combinations and charts. They're good compared to other tools. We used a free Elastic product, comparatively, this solution is good because of their support, UI, and connecting to databases is very easy."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"The solution’s dashboard is very good."
"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"An issue which should be addressed is that the solution only allows us to do structured, as opposed to unstructured, data processing."
"Its licensing can be improved. It should be features-wise and not bundle-wise. A bundle will definitely be costly. In addition, we might use one or two features. That's why the pricing model should be based on the features. The model should be flexible enough based on the features. Their support should also be more responsive to premium customers."
"In the future, I would like to see Informatica PowerCenter integrate a more powerful dashboard."
"Requires an established data center because there is no option for software as a service."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
"The initial setup is not straightforward. You need expertise to do it."
"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."
"The solution can improve by providing more connectivity by having native ODBC or JDBC connections available. It will be easier and more people could start using it."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA."
"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports."
