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.
Duke Obasi - PeerSpot reviewer
Usefulness of data enrichment features, which can help improve data quality and accuracy
It works as we use it. We've been using it for quite some time, even if we look back ten years. We make use of the features it provides, and we're continuously exploring more. For instance, it excels in data quality, data matching, and cleansing. It performs admirably in these areas.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most beneficial feature of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is it's cloud-based."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The profiling features are much better than the on-premise version."
"I would definitely recommend Informatica Data Quality to others."
"An advantage is its seamless integration with other Informatica capabilities, making data quality a deeply embedded part of the solution."
"This solution is particularly useful for data enrichment."
 

Cons

"If given the opportunity, I would like to address these concerns, particularly with regard to enhancing the end-user experience."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The integration with older technology and cloud quality needs improvement."
"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."
"In certain domains, I am looking for material-level match features that are not customizable. The current solution requires code-writing and tweaking, while other solutions offer material-level matches."
"Some capabilities from the cloud version are not included in the on-premises version."
"Logical views are a little bit behind in comparison to the on-premise version."
"You cannot import the data discovery rules you create in the solution to the Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC)."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a six out of ten, with one being very easy and ten being extremely challenging. So, there is room for improvement in the setup process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We pay for a yearly subscription."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"The pricing is in the midrange. It's not cheap, but it depends on the licenses you require."
