A tool with the ability to aggregate and put together data from multiple sources into a single place
I use Informatica MDM to align data in my company The ability to aggregate and put together data from around fifty sources into one environment allows us to have a preview of everything in a single place, which is something we did not have previously in our company. The most valuable feature I…

We can build integrations and processes to pull and push data.
It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data It used to take us 60 – 80 hours to build integrations. We can now do most of them in less than one day. It has been a huge time saver for us. I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security. Some…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded."
"The interface has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"The most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Integration for our clients are the AI capabilities within Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services."
"Replication allows us to fully replicate all objects from Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) to in-house/on-premises database in one job."
"Informatica provides a comprehensive solution for on-the-fly or real-time data masking."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"The advanced features like task flow and conditional integration are particularly useful."
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
 

Cons

"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"Its pricing model can be improved. The response time from technical support can also be improved."
"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."
"Informatica Axon does not provide complete transparency about the level of detailing you need and the logic used in ETL."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"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 pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
