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

"Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub is a real integration tool that offers powerful and helpful features."
"The most valuable features of Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub are the ability to do data integrations, APM Management, MDM, and data catalog."
"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 of this solution is that it seems to be more of a drag and drop interface."
"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."
"It is easy to create REST-based interfaces of the master data objects."
"The ability to aggregate and put together data from around fifty sources into one environment allows us to have a preview of everything in a single place, which is something we did not have previously in our company."
"The most valuable features are data quality, data integrate transformations, match-merge, and a few MDM solutions we build into data quality transformation."
"The solution is stable."
"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
"We use parts and standardization for most of our testing. We purchase the US Postal Service address database, which is updated periodically. Many useful tools, such as Google Maps, can detect and mark new businesses or changes in business locations. Informatica captures and updates this information. Some periodic maintenance is involved, but setting it up is not overly complicated."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
 

Cons

"Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub could improve by having a ChatGPT AI tool to solve problems and develop quicker."
"The reporting needs to be improved to help get more KPIs in the longterm. Now, the system keeps only three months."
"We have problems in some scenarios where there are messages in the queue and would require some support."
"There could be improvements in integrating more features with Microsoft Azure."
"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."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
"The integration with other data management tools can be enhanced. For instance, there is no integration with tools like Collibra or Hubview."
"The UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"The user interface of the product needs to be improved"
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
 

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."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"Informatica MDM is a costly solution because it comes as a bundle. They are also globally positioning themselves and are definitely working on very upgraded technologies. If someone wanted to do it on the cloud, they have a lot of flexibility because they upgrade themselves according to the current needs. It definitely comes with a lot of features and that's the reason why it's costly. The licensing cost should be approximately one million dollars. It's about four to five times that of other vendors."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"It's a very expensive solution"
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
