Accessible from anywhere and easy to learn even for non-technical users, but needs more connectors and faster issue resolution from technical support

What could be improved or added to IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is more connectors. This solution comes in a package with IBM InfoSphere DataStage and is missing a lot of connectors to various, new data sources, so IBM needs to work on that area. Compared with competitors such as Informatica and Alation which acquired other small companies to work on the connectors, IBM has not done any testing and has tried to develop the connectors in-house, but that's taking a lot of time. As a result, my company is unable to connect to a lot of data sources, particularly modern data sources.

Has good reusability and CDI features

I use Collibra Data Quality. I switched to Informatica because Collibra cannot integrate. Colibra Cloud Data Quality is a very basic tool. There is no integration capability. If you have problem records, there is no fix to remediate them using the same tool. With Informatica, you can integrate with CDI and then create a remediation plan.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"What's most useful in IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is you can access it from anywhere. It's also pretty easy to learn, so even non-technical business people use it and found the solution easy to learn."

"You can also schedule and run data quality on the critical data elements on the databases."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Initial setup was fairly easy."

"An advantage is its seamless integration with other Informatica capabilities, making data quality a deeply embedded part of the solution."

"We primarily used Cloud Data Profiling to connect with Cloud Data Governance, a tool also used by Teva. This integration allowed users to access data quality results within the data governance catalog."

"Server maintenance, server hosting, backup, restoration, and DB capabilities are not needed in the cloud."

"The user-friendliness and performance of Informatica is quite impressive."

"The most valuable feature is the rule specification."

"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is Master Data Management. You can write code to build your logic rules to check the quality."

Cons

"The solution is outdated and is not on cloud."

"Support response time could be better."

"The integration with older technology and cloud quality needs improvement."

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

"In the on-premises version, features like web service consumer and web service provider are available, but these functionalities are currently unavailable in the cloud edition."

"You cannot import the data discovery rules you create in the solution to the Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC)."

"I used to use this tool more but recently we have been using another tool that we feel is better because it handles spatial data. Informatica Cloud Data Quality could improve by adding the ability to handle spatial data."

"Logical views are a little bit behind in comparison to the on-premise version."

"Informatica Cloud Data Quality could improve by adding more algorithms for matching and mastering. We currently only have five or six. Additionally, the parallelism in data is better in other solutions, such as IBM."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the licensing cost of IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer, I have no information on the exact cost, but as it's bundled with other IBM products such as IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog and IBM InfoSphere DataStage, the bundle is expensive when compared to competitor pricing."

"The licensing costs attached to the solution are pretty high, but then, with the cloud model, the prices depend on what it provides for the value of money, which I feel was very high."

"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."

"We pay for a yearly subscription."
