davidmwilliams - PeerSpot reviewer
CIO / CTO / Head Of Data at Data Excellence
Centralizes customer data for fast analytics but has struggled with many concurrent data pipelines
Hevo could be improved as we hit limits, particularly when it couldn't keep up with the high number of databases we wanted to sync frequently—ideally updating everything hourly for near real-time analytics rather than a day behind. We found that with many pipelines, performance degraded. After discussing with Hevo engineers, I learned that Hevo is designed for fast individual pipelines, but struggles with many concurrent pipelines. They suggested that consolidating data from fewer pipelines with more fields would perform better, but even that failed when I tested it with a Business Central database that had numerous fields. Hevo does have limits on the number of pipelines it can manage concurrently and on the number of fields in a single pipeline.Additionally, the API was slower to release compared to the user interface and was not feature-complete, which was frustrating. That said, Hevo actively worked on bridging many gaps. Overall, these were significant pain points I encountered.

The tool's governance features include HA rules, responsibilities, and policies which are highly valued. It also reduces the number of APIs needed for new integrations by offering a unified exchange platform that facilitates easy-to-use services without the need for coding.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hevo positively impacted my organization by allowing us to move data quickly and easily, enabling us to focus on our real challenge: performing analytics and reporting out of Snowflake with all customer data centralized despite using various applications."
"The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right."
"I would say that this is one of the best tools for any data ingestion mechanism."
"The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It is a scalable and versatile solution."
"I rate Informatica PowerExchange a ten out of ten."
"The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities."
"The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine."
 

Cons

"Hevo could be improved as we hit limits, particularly when it couldn't keep up with the high number of databases we wanted to sync frequently—ideally updating everything hourly for near real-time analytics rather than a day behind."
"It's not a good product in the end."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"I would like the stability to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are licensing and connector costs. Basically, Informatica is pay-as-you-use."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing cost of the product. It is an expensive product."
"It's expensive. In fact, nobody would buy any product of Informatica if the price was the only consideration. It costs money, and it doesn't come cheap, but it provides value for money in many ways."
"The cost of PowerExchange is reasonable. It does not rely on complicated formulas or unrealistic equations. The pricing model is straightforward. There is one component, and real-time integration is included. Some other solutions require purchasing additional modules or third-party plugins for this capability."
