Used the software for: ### "Powerful ETL Tool with Steep Learning Curve" December 16, 2016 4.0 Informatica is known to have a love/hate relationship with the majority of its users. The main reason for this is the steep learning curve of its vast amount of features. A lot of the features are very "hidden" without a knowledge both deep and wide of the software. Other than with lengthy experience, it is very hard to understand how to tackle a lot of specific problems. However, the majority of the solutions it can provide are very straight forward and can be created very quickly. There is very good customer support provided with the product but the code Informatica is built on is old and a lot of features that the community desires cannot be added. This does not necessarily take away from the functionality but more the overall quality since the product will someday be too out of date. In conclusion, it is one of the best ETL tools and is great value but its main issue is the steep learning curve that will still hit you every couple months.
