It has a nice interface where the user can simply drag and drop to create a data flow. It is very intuitive and user friendly.

Good but require to inbuilt multiple function.

There is no actual CONS that I have seen with tool.

It helps with our ETL process, and allows us to successfully build and schedule complicated workflows.

Great Product for All Medium to Large Companies.

Excellent for ETL (extract, transform, load) use cases.

Stable ETL tool with excellent Monitoring and Workflow Logging Capabilities. Excellent support and Forums to clarify any queries.

Informatica PowerCenter is a good ETL tool for users who wish to develop a datawarehouse but do not have much programming experience.

We use informatica for ETL process and the results so far have been great. Its easy to integrate across platforms and work on.

Informatica PowerCenter is a user friendly tool.

You can launch a part of the process, simulating the data output. The quality of the solution is fantastic and his support is great, they usually respond to a problem in hours.

PowerCenter is a heavy software and installation is not a trivial task. It uses a lot of memory and it could crash the system if it does not have enough resources.

The integration has been seamless its been better than expected.

Informatica works so well with our ETL requirement with Salesforce. The customer support is pretty.

I like ease of working with this software but would prefer Informatica to focus more on Data Science.

PowerCenter is an great tool for ETL if it involves multiple kind of data sources / targets.

One of the Important pro is that GUI interface is very easy to use and understand. I have used other ETL tool like SSIS but Informatica PowerCenter helps developing ETL is easiest way.

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.

Salesforce is intuitive and easy to learn. It is nice that it has memory of tabs previously opened on the dashboard, even between user sessions.

It's a bit tough to pick up the logic at the beginning when you first use it.

The dashboards are very handy and useful to our activities because it nicely integrates the information and presents it in a very digestable way with the enhancement of the Analytics Cloud.

Analytics is great, as long as your data is in Salesforce.

Extremely easy to learn this very powerful analytics tool. But needs to be easier to integrate outside data.

Easy to configure for the business needs. Easy to use on a daily basis.

I was really impressed as a user by this software and it was a great tool for our business sales analysis.

Would definitely recommend. It is certainly better than most softwares out there.

Expensive and there is always a hitch with Salesforce, but we are getting our money's worth and happy with the analytics we have built.

SalesForce is a great tool to manage customers/clients information. It is pretty easy to use.

If there is more technical support and training available for non-premium users, we should see a growth in value of Salesforce Analytics Cloud.

Training is relatively easy as well a good support service. Allows integrations via open APIs.

I had trouble finding where the information went after I categorized it.

Excellent analytics cloud as A Best Business Intelligent Application.

It is not a self-sufficient product, but rather an API with very limited functionality and bugs. Almost impossible to scale the tool, or build something usable once the complexity of tasks increases.

Salesforce Analytics reminds be to contact clients that I haven't reached out to in a while and also it is a great tool to look at what cleint did previously and keeps my buisness fresh.

The price its low and the futures are amazing for the price ,they don't try to take your money for every single think that you need.

Product is easy to use and has the option for a lot of different functionality. Reports are helpful and the chatter function is great to have as a cross-check feature.

I used Einstein Analytics (now: Tableau CRM) to rebuild and improve sales reporting in a medium-sized company.

The pictorial representation of the overall data  and its mapping on the Dashboard is the most fascinating thing of this tool and the parallel processing is also remarkable.

Knowledge ramp is a bit difficult to users that have no idea what is it.

Admin/development work can be very cumbersome and difficult.

In addition, individual requirements in dashboards can often only be implemented with increased effort. For this, JSON files have to be adapted, which often leads to many errors.

It's an amazing platform to bring all of your Salesforce data together in one place and see a truly holistic view of the things that matter. The end user experience is great.

It does need an analytical type experience. Which make it a bit hard to use.

The tool can be very clunky and hard to navigate at times. If you dont know exactly what you're looking for it can be difficult.

I love how user friendly this is as you can customize the software to your liking and understanding and things are easily accessible.

Best analytical tool available in the market. You just find the best development partner and it would make your business style far easier that what you even might not thought off.

The droid phone ap is extremely difficult to use.

It helps out your data into a visual point which helps to track news business as well as existing quotes. It links to external applications which is helpful.

It is not easy to implement and the user experience is a bit inefficient.

It is amazing for our business being able to have all information from our users in just one platform.

Quite easy to use for the end user, could do with some improvements but is a good tool all in all.

Currently the most efficient data analytics tool for a reason. So user friendly, quick interpretation.
