Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase was not complex. The tool is easy to install onto any of the servers, and you can integrate it."
"We are very happy with the technical support."
"It is a scalable and versatile solution."
"The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities."
"We can now update data from several source files from both a database or java source."
"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools."
"Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation."
"Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which allows the integration of the European Artificial Intelligence Act into our processes."
"Using Precisely improves data quality, which can lead to a 30% increase in revenue and boost net income by 20% to 25% if implemented correctly."
 

Cons

"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"It's not a good product in the end."
"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
"I have minimal exposure to PowerExchange at this point."
"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."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Many users don't prefer to use the product, considering the high costs attached to the licensing part of the solution."
"The product is not very expensive."
"An annual package license fee is required."
"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."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing cost of the product. It is an expensive product."
"There are licensing and connector costs. Basically, Informatica is pay-as-you-use."
