Excellent for budgeting and forecasting, but long-term it will no longer be developed or supported
The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble. Additionally, I think we underestimated the time for deployment, we thought it would be a few months and it took much longer than expected because the consultants didn't understand our process in detail before committing to the process. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Hubble a seven.

Has supported complex data pipeline creation but performance tuning and monitoring responsiveness need improvement
Sometimes, I see various performance issues with Informatica PowerCenter, including caching concerns, whether it's a joiner transformation or other transformations, so I believe the team can enhance the performance perspectives of these transformations. Additionally, sometimes the Informatica Monitor hangs or takes time to open the current run or logs, which the team can also look into. Informatica is transitioning to cloud solutions and discontinuing on-premise support after 2026, so when we discuss Informatica Cloud and its support, it becomes quite expensive for the organization compared to peers such as SnapLogic or Netezza, which offer lower pricing. Informatica Cloud Intelligence's pricing is notably high.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Reporting was dramatically improved."
"Hubble will truly blow you away once you get to know the product and the people behind it."
"Being able to create calculations, hierarchies, aging buckets, etc. has reduced the Excel reports we used to have."
"We have saved hours of Excel work producing the same results, which Hubble gives in minutes."
"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"It is very robust, scalable, and simple to use, and it is very comprehensive in terms of connector and transformation capabilities from both a source and target perspective."
"We have found the PowerCenter and B2B data transformation most valuable, and additionally, they have many native connectors, high performance, and a lot of support documentation."
"Technical support is great. It's one of the reasons we really like them. When you compare support from IBM and support from Informatica, Informatica is much better."
"When compared with other ETL or ELP tools, Informatica PowerCenter is the best for connecting to multiple sources, which is better when you have large loads."
"It is UI friendly and has all the advantages of an ETL tool."
"In summary, this is a good tool and I definitely recommend it."
"It's quite suitable for our needs."
"Informatica PowerCenter is one of the best solutions or products in the data integration space."
 

Cons

"The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble."
"When exporting to Excel, it is values only."
"The only thing I may add is that it can get a little pricey when you add annual maintenance."
"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."
"Exporting to Excel takes a lot of time when broken into sheets/files."
"While on-premises is a better product, we really need to move to the cloud and need the cloud to be as robust as this product."
"The licensing cost for Informatica is very high. Other all-in-one solutions have much lower prices than Informatica."
"The solution currently requires quite an established data center in place because there is no option for software as a service so the best option to install the platform is on-prem."
"The developer tool documentation can be enhanced with a more clear explanation of each utility, accompanied by relevant examples, so that developers are able to create programs with ease."
"In terms of performance improvement and tuning, there should be a bit more guidance and documentation."
"Areas for improvement in Informatica PowerCenter include scalability and high availability or the clustering configuration because that's still very basic."
"It would be good to recreate the entire interface to make it easier for users to build workflows."
"The solution can improve by providing more connectivity by having native ODBC or JDBC connections available. It will be easier and more people could start using it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have a site license, but we do pay by the division."
"The price of Informatica PowerCenter is expensive, but it does give value."
"I consider this to be an expensive product."
"Compared to other tools, I think PowerCenter is a bit expensive. When I compare it to Oracle, if you want to use Oracle databases, you can easily get an ODI tool, so it's easier to handle. Informatica is a standalone tool—it's an independent company—and there are no databases around them, so it's quite expensive to use. Generally, large companies use PowerCenter because of the price. If companies want to expand their usage areas, they try to consider if it's easy to implement and easy to understand the pricing. I think the pricing is a barrier for Informatica."
"Its licensing is expensive in terms of scaling."
"The price is mostly reasonable."
"Cost could be improved."
"Licensing is a one time cost. But maintenance costs depend on what you want, how long you need it. Maintenance is a kind of insurance. With health insurance, you don't know whether you will get sick or need to go to hospital or not but you have to have insurance. It's the same thing with support. If you have that expertise in resolving issues, if you have enough experience in your IT department, I would say you don't need the support. But in practice, they recommend you go with the support. If you want support you have to pay for it."
