Informatica Cloud Data Integration Suite has been highly valued by clients for its seamless integration between various systems and platforms. One key use case involves integrating data between Infor ERP and Salesforce CRM, solving the common business problem of connecting a legacy system with a modern CRM platform. It has successfully facilitated the asynchronous transfer of data, ensuring that both systems are synchronized and meeting the organization's requirements effectively. Another use case involves using Informatica Cloud to process large volumes of data, such as 100K records daily, enabling teams to solve customer problems by transferring and updating data from SAP to Salesforce. This integration has proven instrumental in supporting reporting and analytics, allowing for better decision-making based on accurate and up-to-date information.

Additionally, Informatica Cloud has been utilized to integrate data between Oracle financial systems, Salesforce.com, and internal transaction processing systems. By eliminating the need for maintaining server infrastructure, this solution has streamlined the data integration process while supporting internal gateways for data movement and extraction. Moreover, Informatica Cloud has enabled efficient extraction of data from internal systems as well as external CRM tools like Salesforce. This capability allows organizations to leverage the power of business intelligence tools and personalize their websites based on valuable insights gained from integrated data sources.

Furthermore, Informatica Cloud Services has been widely adopted by multiple departments for ETL processes. This service ensures the easy extraction, transformation, and loading of a significant amount of data, including real-time transaction data.

Overall, Informatica Cloud has been well-received due to its ability to fetch data from multiple sources and store it in a single destination datalake. This feature has greatly simplified the data integration process, making it more efficient and enabling organizations to centralize their data for better accessibility and analysis. The scalability, cost-effectiveness, and availability of talent have also been key factors in the adoption of Informatica Cloud. Many departments have found it to be a scalable solution that can handle their growing data needs without compromising performance.

If your company does not have a scalable ETL solution, the current data pipeline is just data migration using my SQL or python API, you should switch to a good ETL solution - you can achieve [this with] Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services.
[Well suited] if you want to use good data warehousing concepts in your practical warehouse, no hardcore developer is required. Ease in debugging.

Informatica Cloud is relatively older software but it works well for mid to large-sized enterprise scenarios well for where the requirements are solidly defined. I think we wouldn't use this for an earlier stage company as there are other solutions out there.

The ability to replicate tables from one target to another. It takes care of all of the field type creation and adapts to new fields being created on the fly without having to alter the target. It has a very easy learning curve with a point-and-click interface. It's good for regular business analysts who are not very technical.

If you are wanting to run any kind of data importing automation, Informatica Cloud is essential for your day to day business operations. We don't know of another tool that does all that Informatica Cloud can do. Manual imports with Informatica are also great because there is so much more you can do with it than native Salesforce import tools leverage. It is a great tool. It might be seen as overly complicated if you are just doing it for small, one-off manual imports, but if they are going to be at any kind of regularity, it is a great tool.

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.

Informatica Cloud is an excellent tool for freeing up trapped data in your internal systems and exporting it into a cloud data warehouse or SQL container. Especially if you have any internal SQL query generators that allow you to copy and paste into the Source setup. For example, we use Business Objects internally, and you can build out the query you need inside the firewall with that, then paste it into the query within Informatica Cloud while establishing the Source connection. This way you are not writing all your source parameters by hand, cutting new jobs setup time by 50%. Where Cloud will not suit you well is if you need significant visibility to the health of the system from a tracking, monitoring or error handling standpoint. Cloud will tell you it failed, maybe give you an example error, but has no further troubleshooting or diagnostic assistance to offer.

Informatica Cloud Data Integration is well suited for integration projects which involve non-complex architecture. For non-complex system integrations, Informatica Cloud Data Integrations is one of the most cost effective tools. Informatica Cloud along with MDM is widely used for integrating with Salesforce CRM. MDM helps in removing the duplicate customer information, and site/address details. For complex system architectures one would need to use Oracle Data Integrator or Informatica Power Center.
