Is easy to deploy and is free, but marketing strategies need improvement
We use Ataccama DQ Analyzer to analyze data migration from one source to another. We use it to clean up the data I like that there is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it free. It is also easy to deploy. They could focus more on marketing the product. The current…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms."
"It is also easy to deploy."
"The scalability is very high."
"I give the stability a ten out of ten."
"The user interface is flexible and the visibility of the data flow is amazing."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"Informatica MDM's most valuable feature is the interconnection between multiple Master Data domains."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
 

Cons

"They could focus more on marketing the product. The current marketing strategy is not working."
"Although DQA can fetch data from most of the commonly used data sources, it has limited modifiers to get data, meaning that the number of technologies from which the data can be acquired is limited. For example, DQA does not support fetching data from Twitter or Facebook. Many competitors have this feature."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals."
"Cost-wise, it could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"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."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
