Data workflows have accelerated and now optimize migration and cost management
The best feature Airbyte Cloud offers is data transformation. Airbyte Cloud has positively impacted our organization by being very helpful and speeding up our work environment. An example of how it has helped speed things up is that we have data here and there, which helps us to organize and speed up our migration. Data tasks help our workflow and organization because most of the things we do manually, so that helps organize.
Divya-Raj - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr. Consultant cum Assistant Manager & Offshore Lead at Deloitte
Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Airbyte Cloud has positively impacted our organization because we were looking for multiple products and ended up choosing Airbyte because it is easy to use and set up."
"Airbyte Cloud has positively impacted our organization by being very helpful and speeding up our work environment."
"I give the stability a ten out of ten."
"We've used the solution for quite some time, so in our organization, the product is pretty mature."
"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."
"The out-of-the-box features and standard profiling options provide quick visibility of the data within minutes, which facilitates discussions with the business."
"I think the most valuable part of Informatica is the flexibility in extending the data model."
"The product improves data quality."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration has a strong enterprise customer base and this is one of the main reasons why we choose to work with them."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
 

Cons

"I think Airbyte Cloud can be improved by adding more connectors and more customizable connectors."
"Airbyte Cloud can be improved because it looks good so far, but based on the AI coming, they have to catch up with AI agents."
"The UI is extremely complex"
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality has significant room for improvement. It is not stable, and there are several issues, especially on the cloud side, unlike the on-premise version which was very stable."
"Error analysis becomes difficult as finding the exact location of the error in the logs is challenging."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready. They need to add more features, such as improved data replication features. If you look at other tools, such as Matillion they are now cloud-native and flexible. Additionally, Informatica Cloud Data Integration should have a good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"The regions in which the data resides are still limited. This could be an issue in terms of the data residency laws of some of the countries. They should get more regions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is comparable."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"The solution is expensive."
