Strong integration and synchronization capabilities with saving time
Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub is a real integration tool that offers powerful and helpful features. It has data synchronization capabilities, and I have noted that it provides a benefit for all my integration needs. Additionally, there are notable benefits in terms of time savings, money savings, and resource savings for me.
Raj Sethupathi - PeerSpot reviewer
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 most valuable feature of this solution is that it seems to be more of a drag and drop interface."
"We use the administrator to create different interfaces. We developed APIs for specific applications like data validation between systems. We have our own product and base it on the Boomi interfaces that generate this type of data validation."
"The most valuable features of Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub are the ability to do data integrations, APM Management, MDM, and data catalog."
"Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub is a real integration tool that offers powerful and helpful features."
"The most valuable feature is that it's very easy to develop the processes and we have been using it for a long time. At that time, no other tool was available, and it was the best product. When we first got it, I don't think it was a Dell product back then. We upgraded to the cloud last year. Today, it's still the best because it's very user-friendly, and the user interface is also very user-friendly. We can easily develop the processes quickly."
"The solution's technical support is pretty good, especially since the turnaround time is good."
"Informatica provides a comprehensive solution for on-the-fly or real-time data masking."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"I like that Informatica MDM has robust matching technology. Informatica MDM is also porting the external Java applications for validations. I can consider that a must-have. It is also exposed to Rest API calls, and we can engage in real-time integrations with any third-party systems."
"One of the most valuable features is that I don't need to buy a subscription for any functionality. With Informatica Cloud Data Management, I have all the functionality and features available. If I need to make an integration, I can go to that integration service. If I need to mask, provide, or clean some information, I can easily just pick up that feature and use it. It's very simple, and I have all the functions and capabilities I need to work with data."
"The solution is easier to use compared to the other solutions."
"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
 

Cons

"There could be improvements in integrating more features with Microsoft Azure."
"The reporting needs to be improved to help get more KPIs in the longterm. Now, the system keeps only three months."
"The price could be better. It would also be better if they stopped changing the icons every six months. Whenever they change it, users have to adapt to them again."
"Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub could improve by having a ChatGPT AI tool to solve problems and develop quicker."
"We have problems in some scenarios where there are messages in the queue and would require some support."
"The tool could be improved in terms of ease of use, particularly for those without technical expertise. Understanding and extracting data from the table-based structure requires some SQL knowledge and technical skills. Additionally, while Informatica MDM has moved towards a cloud-based MDM with a UI similar to Reltio, I haven't used it, so I can't comment on its effectiveness."
"Its pricing model can be improved. The response time from technical support can also be improved."
"The ability of the product to leverage the power of big data could be improved."
"We would like to have accessibility to the repository."
"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."
"Metadata querying is right now not there in Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a monthly subscription, which is $550 per month."
"The price could be better. In the current market, it's expensive but worth it."
"The price is comparable."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
