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.

Streamlined daily sales workflows have reduced team size and enabled earlier, accurate reporting
One of the best features I appreciate about Informatica PowerCenter is that anyone with minimal knowledge of ETL can easily use it. It has four different interfaces: Monitor, Repository, Designer, and Workflow Manager. With our use case, we can easily go to that particular interface and use it. Another valuable feature is the use of Mapplets; if we have one mapping created that we want to use again and again for other workflows, we can create a Mapplet and save it so that we can reuse the mapping, reducing our workload. Informatica PowerCenter has positively impacted my organization because, as I mentioned previously, the development team has been reduced to half since we moved to it due to its easy interface and the reusability of Mapplets. It has also saved us a lot of time; for example, it has saved nearly one hour per day on monitoring and workflow tasks. Saving one hour a day is key because it has led us to report the data to business users one hour earlier than the usual time. If there are any anomalies or defects in the data, we can easily rectify them within that hour, which reduces the chance of errors in the data. Regarding cost, the number of people working on the project has been reduced to half, thus significantly decreasing costs for our organization since we moved to Informatica PowerCenter.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have saved hours of Excel work producing the same results, which Hubble gives in minutes."
"Being able to create calculations, hierarchies, aging buckets, etc. has reduced the Excel reports we used to have."
"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"Hubble will truly blow you away once you get to know the product and the people behind it."
"Reporting was dramatically improved."
"Enterprise-scale ETL solution that's very stable and is easy to scale. It integrates and connects with multiple new systems, both structured and semi-structured."
"Informatica is 100% value for money, and the kind of flexibility and stability it offers in dealing with heterogeneous data is amazing."
"It is UI friendly and has all the advantages of an ETL tool."
"They know what they're doing, and it's a more mature tool compared to Talend."
"It has helped us monetize."
"PowerCenter's ETL functionalities have made the entire data flow and data pipeline creation very easy in my organization."
"The solution is stable."
"PowerCenter is serving as the data integration foundation for our enterprise integration initiatives including data warehousing, data governance, data migration, SOA, and MDM."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The only thing I may add is that it can get a little pricey when you add annual maintenance."
"When exporting to Excel, it is values only."
"Exporting to Excel takes a lot of time when broken into sheets/files."
"The solution's commercial cost is very high. Other open-source tools can do the tool's functions for free. The world is moving to the cloud, but the solution hasn't updated its drivers. I presume that its downfall will start soon. The tool is trying to cross-sell or upsell without helping customers derive benefits from the existing products. They have multiple tools and licenses. It is better to bring the smaller tools in one umbrella."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, considering the fact that the present licensing charges of the tool are expensive."
"We had to take on a large volume of data from the legacy Sybase system. This was taking a very long time, i.e., more than a day. We were trying to improve it with partitions to gpload, but we were told that we can't go more than four partitions."
"The UI is outdated and old-fashioned, at least in our current version. Also, we have experienced some stability issues with the Workflow Monitor application."
"As all ETL tools in general, it does not include a good data reporting feature."
"I would like to see improvements made to the custom transformations. It should be more open for users that want to write their own code and use cases."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have a site license, but we do pay by the division."
"I am not sure about the most recent price, but I think it should be $100,000 or more."
"The price of this solution is high."
"We have found the pricing very cost-effective. The licensing is CPU and data source-based."
"The solution is in the middle price range compared to other solutions."
"It's much more expensive, almost three times more expensive than most other solutions."
"The pricing for Informatica PowerCenter is expensive. Some clients have simple needs and only want to integrate and store data. Some clients have small needs, while some clients have bigger needs and focus more on performance and time. The licensing cost for Informatica PowerCenter isn't good. In my project, if I remember correctly, the company pays €20,000 per year for the Informatica PowerCenter license. I'm not aware of additional costs that you need to pay for some features of the solution. On a scale of one to five, I'm rating its price a three."
"A basic setup can be from $100,000 and up annually."
