FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.
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 solution is good for data models."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"The product is stable."
"Camunda seems to have a lot of traction, maturity, and stability. It also matches the need for agile development."
"Having knowledge of the BPM and monitoring process has proven to be very beneficial, as I am currently engaged in documenting processes for Clientele."
"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read."
"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model."
"Informatica is user-friendly, stable, and scalable. These three aspects are the most valuable for us. If we can make it work well with the CRM, we can continue or try again this year to complete that part of the project. I am confident that this kind of solution is what we need because we have a third-party resource that works in the development."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
"This is where I think MDM shines - with its strong fuzzy matching algorithm. This is the essence of Informatica MDM. Based on these results, I can write our match conditions and then perform the corresponding data management activities."
"Informatica MDM's most valuable feature is the interconnection between multiple Master Data domains."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"MDM doesn't require a separate IDQ."
 

Cons

"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."
"The initial setup can be complex for business users."
"Probably one area I look forward to has to do with AI and how Camunda sees the AI angle on workflow."
"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity."
"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Camunda could be improved by making it easier to modify a process. You can program it to follow a process, but it is difficult to modify the process when the application is in use. It could also be improved by making it easier to use the visual platform without needing to be informed on that. Sometimes, we programmers haven't used it in the past, and it's a bit difficult to learn it."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
"New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends. The solution is good, but it definitely needs a lot of improvement and needs to speed up as per the market."
"Although we are very satisfied with the design of the UI, executing tasks with it can be difficult."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're using the open-source version for now."
"We're using the free version. We used the Enterprise version for some time. If I compare free versus what we paid at that time, the Enterprise version costs a lot. For the additional functionality that we got with the Enterprise version, it was too costly."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"Its price is decent. Everything is included in the license. The Community version is also good to start with. We are using the Community version."
"The price is competitive with products like Bonitasoft and RHPAM (Red Hat Process Automation Manager). We have two versions of Camunda. The first version was open source, without support, but then we got a supported version."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"The product is highly-priced."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
