Exceptional drag-and-drop integration module

It would be great to have more assistance and credit services for additional features. For instance, virtual class initials are available but not for backend processing moves. Making that more visible, like other Azure products, would be helpful. Moreover, the documentation is good, but it could be improved. It is changing every day, and I sometimes find that it's not updated enough or some code levels are not included.

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 integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi."

"It is easy to learn and implement."

"It has been a stable product."

"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."

"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."

"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."

"I have found the solution to be scalable."

More Boomi iPaaS pros

"It is a highly scalable solution."

"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."

"The support is very good."

"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly."

"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

"The interface is really good."

"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."

"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."

Cons

"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."

"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."

"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."

"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."

"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."

"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."

"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."

"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Boomi iPaaS cons

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a two out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy."

"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."

"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."

"Permissions, scalability, and connection with other informatic tools are the main areas that need development. Integration with other tools, such as IDQ, is challenging. The management of data discovery is highly challenging because many data points have identical definitions."

"Metadata querying is right now not there in Informatica Cloud Data Integration."

"It could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue."

"I would like to see better visuals for business users, such as a dashboard where they can precisely track where problems are."

"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."

"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."

"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."

"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."

"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."

"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"

"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."

"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."

More Boomi iPaaS pricing and cost advice

"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."

"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."

"Its pricing model can be improved."

"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."

"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 solution is very expensive."

"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."

"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."
