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.

Offers good integration capabilities and easy to learn and good stability
Nintex is still at the starting point of integrating with AI. It has integrated with a very small piece of artificial intelligence., like only integrated with the Google Cloud. There is a benefit, like a no-code and low-code solution. But, again, if you are a developer, especially if you are a hardcore developer, you are using your code knowledge, its skills, and all. And, suddenly, you are moving into the low-code solution, and then you will feel, like, so many things you can't achieve with the low-code solution. And in that case, you are looking for some custom development. And it's a little bit difficult in the Nintex area. Because they are totally dependent on the low-code solution, and you are looking at where you can implement your custom things. However, you can do that thing, but that will be a difficult task. Also, the outcome, whatever you are trying to get from such kind of custom development, will be a little bit difficult. Let's suppose, like, if you are working with a medium level of data or a small level of data that will be easier to handle with the Nintex. However, the bulk data on a high level of data would be difficult. I have been working with Nintex for the past three years. I've been able to create some really good products in different domains, including banking and insurance. Everything seems achievable, but there are a few things I'm missing. First, debugging can be a bit difficult in Nintex. You can't debug forms and workflows easily. This is something that could be improved in future releases. It requires some R&D. Second, I would like to see more integration with AI. There is some custom integration available through the gateway, but it would be great to have more AI-related features built into the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has multiple valuable features for metadata collection"
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"It gives you accountability to centralize your data and have it available to different applications."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"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."
"I give the stability a ten out of ten."
"It is easy to create REST-based interfaces of the master data objects."
"The product's primary advantage is its low-code nature which allows for rapid development without extensive coding."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"It has a lot of features for creating and managing workflows, as well as for integrating with other applications. Nintex offers features, particularly to ensure a user-friendly experience."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"It is a scalable product."
"It's easy to learn. However, there is very little content available for the Nintex also, but they are providing their own documentation and all. So, it's easy to learn also."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"The strength of this solution lies in its connectors and the accessibility of an open API. The presence of an open API allows users to create custom connectors if necessary, provided there is access to the source API documentation. Additionally, the platform features a straightforward yet highly effective forms tool. This tool not only seamlessly integrates with the workflow functionality but also facilitates the transmission of information to the document generation tool. This comprehensive integration is particularly noteworthy when compared to alternatives such as Oracle, which tends to rely on more complex and separate logic for similar functionalities. A key strength of Nintex lies in its user-centric approach to help documentation. The materials are designed to be easily understood, avoiding complex terminology. In cases where technical terms are used, they are linked to articles for further clarification. This contrasts with platforms like Microsoft and Oracle, which may employ technical jargon without clear explanations. Nintex further supports its users through a robust online community, fostering collaboration and shared insights. Additionally, Nintex University offers online training across all applications, following a role-based structure. Unlike some other platforms, Nintex's training is thoughtfully broken down into shorter courses, focused on specific roles. This approach ensures that users can efficiently access the information they need without navigating through extensive and potentially irrelevant content, as may be the case with Oracle's training structure."
 

Cons

"There could be a lot more application integration."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"The scalability is tough."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"Metadata querying is right now not there in Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"​Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting.​"
"I think it was lacking a little bit in its multiple in-house processes and other processes. So there is a little bit of a gap in collaboration."
"Nintex seems to be very server intensive. It is one of the reasons that we are moving to a different product on the SharePoint 2016 platform."
"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"It's a costly solution"
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"The product has a high price point."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"The annual support costs are expensive."
"Certainly. Notably, in terms of cost, this solution presents a substantial advantage, being approximately forty percent more economical compared to Oracle. It offers flexibility with two deployment options, catering to both cloud and on-premises preferences. Moreover, within each deployment option, there are two variations available. For organizations with limited IT resources and relying on citizen developers—individuals from the business side comfortable with technology—the platform allows for a more hands-on approach. These users can independently implement solutions without extensive coding or custom development. In contrast, the KQ solution at Symantec is adept at addressing the needs of sectors like banking, where extensive custom development is required for seamless integration with existing applications, websites, and ensuring robust security measures."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"This solution is affordable and is cheaper than most alternatives on the market. We have a standard cloud license that costs about 20k per year."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"Nintex is around INR 200 per license in India, which is much cheaper. Smaller organizations are always looking for cost-effective solutions, and Nintex provides local solutions with very low pricing."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
