Stable platform with valuable case management capabilities
We use Everest Blueriq for a food safety organization, that revolves around automating and managing complex processes critical to ensuring food safety and compliance. It involves monitoring containers for pests and diseases before allowing entry into the EU. The platform plays a vital role in…

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 biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"I have rated the stability a ten out of ten due to a high level of satisfaction."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"The solution's technical support is pretty good, especially since the turnaround time is good."
"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."
"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."
 

Cons

"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"We'd like to see the microservices, which don't run yet because the solution is not yet fully cloud-based."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"Exploring the possibility of incorporating AI capabilities that can suggest additional rules would significantly streamline our data analysis process following data profiling."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is very expensive."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
"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."
"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
