Adverity vs. Informatica Cloud Data Integration

If you're a marketing organization that wants to own your data architecture, get away from hours of manual excel work, and build a flexible and scalable BI practice for yourself and your clients, Adverity is your solution. Especially if you don't have a dedicated analytics team or current database solution. If you have access to a wide variety of API's and a fully staffed team to custom develop new connectors in under 30 days for no incremental cost, you're probably best in-housing

Its best for the people who are less exposed to programming and even Informatica Cloud Data Integration is trying hard to make it less code or no code. They have more than 300+ connection support to third party applications which make them unique in the data and analytics field. They have some bugs in glitch on which they are continuously working.

• Customizable dashboards, that you could change and make unique to your specific need / business.
• Combining a range of data sets into one view.
• Easily sharable insights, that you can share internally or also with clients.

• Data synchronisation
• Data replication
• Data integration

• Adverity is running into some issues being able to custom-develop API connectors at scale/speed. This is mostly because of their rapid growth and incredible core product. If you need custom development, be prepared to use one of the many easy-to-use workarounds Adverity offers for endpoints they don't have a direct integration with. Don't worry - you'll get your data either way.

Adverity is easy to understand and use, even for users who are less technical. Reports and dashboards are easy to send out, and back-end users can easily navigate workspaces for creating new data fetches.

There is a learning curve with Informatica. It is not always intuitive to use. It is best suited for technical users such as system administrators

Previously I had never really used a tool like this, only using software such as GA to look at any insights and review performance. So I think that the combined view of having all of the data sets (Which in my role I wouldn't always particularly have access to), was really useful. As an individual who was optimising our clients websites it meant that I was really able to prioritise what was important, but also have a great view of absolutely all activity that was happening

We also use Demand Tools from Validity. Demand Tools is a simpler tool and is easier for business users to comprehend. It has less of a learning curve. However, it is not nearly as powerful or feature - rich as Informatica. Also, the scheduled job functionality of Informatica is more robust

• Scale - the biggest advantage has been the ability to extract, transform, and load data for 150+ clients with a three-person team without a software or data engineering team to support. Adverity would easily allow us to scale up to double or triple the client load if needed.
• Templates - Another advantage related to scale, Adverity allows us to run a templated approach to extraction, transformation, and also data visualization and reporting so that onboarding is very fast. Typical clients with up to 15 data sources can be onboarded in as little as a couple of hours.

• Informatica allows our system administrators to perform numerous data tasks without having to engage developers.
• Scheduling functionality is a huge time saver. Email notifications alert us to any errors encountered.
• Reduces duplicate records and manual cleanup
