Tharun Gullapalli - PeerSpot reviewer
A cloud solution to reflect market data using Shell companies data
We don't have any other options other than Boomi. Boomi has all the feasible data to trade from one company to another. We have the flexibility to have a batch test where we can secure the batch load and the bulk load. It is similar to Tableau because we have a cap sheet. We can also do graphs and dashboards using Boomi Master Data Hub.

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

"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 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 most valuable feature of this solution is that it seems to be more of a drag and drop interface."
"The most valuable features of Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub are the ability to do data integrations, APM Management, MDM, and data catalog."
"In the latest version, I like the outlay of the business roles creation. I like seeing that visualization as you're building it, as opposed to going through metatables or XML mappings. We liked that piece, and it makes it more intuitive for the business."
"The solution has the best feature for parameterization."
"It has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms. They're very robust."
"We have a lot of integrations, and it's very easy to create integrations. They have a lot of connectors."
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
"The features that I have found most valuable are, first of all, that it comes as part of this whole bundle of Informatica tools. So if you've been implementing Informatica MDM across a business, you'd often find it comes with it. It's been thrown in as a sweetener. The adoption of it is often the challenge because as part of your MDM project, governance is seen as something beyond the MDM and is often restrictive. So this tool actually, for the first time, when you talk to data governance teams, gives a holistic view of what a data governance team can do with this tool."
"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."
"The ability of the product to leverage the power of big data could be improved."
"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."
"Informatica Axon does not provide complete transparency about the level of detailing you need and the logic used in ETL."
"Its features for partitioning and optimization could be better."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
 

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."
"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."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
