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.

An easy-to-setup solution with good stability
We use Jitterbit to connect cloud solutions with our on-premises ERP system We connect cloud solutions to our on-premise ERP system easily using Jitterbit. It is its most valuable feature.  The solution's API management capabilities need improvement. We have been using the solution for almost…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"It has flexibility in extending the data model."
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"Informatica MDM has a defined data model we can customize with user and developer options."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"The valuable feature is metadata management. If you want to trace sensitive data, you can auto-classify them. You can search for sensitive information through EDC. Using Discovery, you can identify if there is any type of data set."
"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
 

Cons

"Most of the new features added by Informatica are through Elastic Mapping. It would be helpful to have features like multithreading or partitioning for Salesforce to enhance performance."
"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used. Each customer purchases a certain amount of IPUs per month, but you can use more or less than that defined quantity. The only problem is if you don't use the all your IPUs, they don't carry over into the next month. I think customers should have the ability to transfer unused IPUs into the next month or year. This improvement could help give customers more flexibility, especially since cloud solutions need flexibility in how we use and pay for them."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"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."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"The main issue preventing Brazilian companies from migrating to Informatica Cloud Data Integration from on-prem is the price."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"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."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"It's an expensive solution."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
