Those days, we were using SQL (old school), SQL Server, MS. SQL, and a whole pile of old systems. INFORMATICA showed up with modern ways of how to handle Data. And, that time we did not even have cellphones & Social Media but INFORMATICA was able to translate data across all Platforms. I thought, ETL, thank you. Pros Informatica is seamless (sp). It is a great tool for anyone who works with Data. Cons The Cons are Informatica is not given its due. It is one of the best tools in the Industry. Informatica is a very powerful tool. The world is catching on. Switched from [SAS Visual Analytics](https://www.capterra.com/p/266531/SAS-Visual-Analytics/) SAS used to be very specific. SAS is still one of the best tools in the world entire. However, INFORMATICA was crossing all platforms. Reasons for choosing Informatica Big Data INFORMATICA is very powerful. They still rule because they built a very powerful of analyzing Data. Data Warehouses were unheard of when INFORMATICA showed up. They provided a service many Data Analysts needed. Wow!!
