Overall Satisfaction with Informatica Enterprise Data Integration

Predominantly by the IT dept. It addresses enterprise data integration challenges, integrates with enterprise service bus for data movements
  • Multi platform connectivity, including Hadoop and Cloud providers
  • Deployment and Licensing flexibility
  • Pricing
  • Skills availability in the market
  • Deployment is flexible, but deployment needs to be more simpler
  • Difficult ingesting very large datasets, though Informatica's Big Data Edition makes it simple (but that comes at an additional cost)
  • It has always been a positive impact
Microsoft SSIS, Ab Initio and IBM DataStage are evaluated against Informatica. Informatica scored well on licensing, hardware infrastructure flexibility and Big Data connectivity
Well suited when there are more diverse source platforms, and there's a need for integrating data movements across enterprise bus
