Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated
Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"The price is comparable."
"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The solution is very expensive."
