Likelihood to Recommend CLEO Integration Cloud is well suited in any environment where you need to move and translate business data from one format to another or multiple other formats. It is very well suited to replace existing EDI systems that are cumbersome, are a lot of work to add new mappings (add customers for example), or where the support is lousy and you are constantly creating support tickets to try to resolve issues. It just works very well and is constantly improving including keeping up to changes made by various services such as

Read full review Informatica Cloud is a great tool for use when data must be formatted consistently. Once configured, it is very robust and reliable. It is also well-suited for an organization without a robust IT staff to maintain a full server infrastructure. It offers a cost-effective approach to high-quality data integration for even the largest organizations. Organizations without staff experienced in data analytics may find it challenging to take advantage of the more complex results of this tool.
Read full review Pros A great platform perfectly integrated with the rest of the company's software. Detailed design with simple and easy access from anywhere to our information. Multi-location and multi-device access. We save on hardware, software and maintenance, by minimizing the user's need for powerful equipment and the programs in charge of managing and configuring them, reducing the investment in their acquisition. Cleo integration is in charge of technical maintenance and updates. Read full review Once the secure connection is established it’s quite easy to operate and create new jobs. The controls are simple, and we appreciate the fact there are not a lot of complex fine-tunings required. Navigation is also easy, and we enjoy the ability to open multiple tabs in the browser to work on multiple projects. The monitoring functionality works well to help track the progress of the jobs, again, without too much complication. In a fast dev environment, speed is essential and we quickly seeing the status/progress of jobs as well as any errors if the jobs fail helps us maintain speed. The web interface is a lot easier to interact with than the client/on-prem version. Putting much of the heavy lifting of interacting with the tool onto the shoulders of the browser makes it easier to keep multiple sessions open and get in/out quickly without having to VPN into the office. Read full review Cons A fully functional help manual would be good. Some topics have no help at all, "envelopeassemblybycontext" for instance. A needed feature is to be able to sort files by either file type (FM, RS, BPS) or by filename. Some of our projects have almost a hundred files. Better, more descriptive error messages. Sometimes a ruleset or process fails and the error message is not helpful. Read full review The User Interface can be a bit difficult to get in initial stages. Error messages are hard to understand which sometimes takes a lot of time for the resolution Cannot Implement complex SQL queries which should be fixed in future release.

Read full review I've never had trouble getting into contact with Informatica's support for technical help. I give it a nine because it does pretty well for mid to enterprise-scale workflows.

Read full review First, the wizard is easy to use making the learning curve for simple ETL tasks nice. Second, since Informatica is mature there are a good variety of connectors available. Finally, we have driven some fairly complex ETL solutions using only the cloud.
Read full review Return on Investment We have easily improved our EDI tenfold (or more) as far as ease of adding new customers for example We have saved a ton of money by reducing chargebacks for missing ASNs for example We have improved customer scorecards where they measure our EDI performance such as one large brand name customer we sell wholesale to who originally scored us around 28% and after implementing CLEO we quickly went to a 96%+ score.

We've saved countless dollars by eliminating duplicates in our system with this tool. Read full review ScreenShots
