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.

Enables robust integration capabilities, facilitating seamless connection with various systems and applications

We utilized Oracle BPM to automate various administrative processes within our organization, specifically focusing on eliminating paper-based workflows related to licensing procedures in our environment. Oracle BPM enabled collaboration between our IT and business teams for effective process management. Utilizing the Oracle VPN, we experienced significant improvements in process efficiency. For instance, a process that previously took forty days before implementation was reduced to just twenty minutes after implementing Oracle BPM. This remarkable reduction in time demonstrates the substantial benefits brought about by the solution. The solution is comprehensive, encompassing modeling, implementation, and runtime capabilities. Additionally, by leveraging this platform, we seamlessly integrated Oracle Portal and Oracle Document Management, providing a complete solution within the Oracle ecosystem. The integration capabilities of Oracle BPM with other systems significantly influenced our workflow. Our workflow was impacted positively by these integrations. Initially, we utilized Oracle BPM alongside other Oracle products such as Oracle Context Manager, Oracle Portal, and Oracle Document Management. Despite using multiple products, they are seamlessly integrated, providing a comprehensive solution for our clients. This solution encompassed document management, workflow control, process execution, and automation, effectively streamlining processes and eliminating bureaucratic hurdles. The transparency and efficiency achieved through this integrated approach were highly beneficial for our clients.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."

"It's got a reputation in the industry as one of the best solutions for master data management. So, it's what we see in the Gartner top right quadrant as the best product in that space."

"We've used the solution for quite some time, so in our organization, the product is pretty mature."

"The product is stable."

"The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them."

"The features for data quality, data cataloging, and UI are excellent."

"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."

"The program is stable and scalable."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles."

"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."

"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."

"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."

"It is easy and cheap."

"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."

"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."

More Oracle BPM pros

Cons

"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."

"The tool could be improved in terms of ease of use, particularly for those without technical expertise. Understanding and extracting data from the table-based structure requires some SQL knowledge and technical skills. Additionally, while Informatica MDM has moved towards a cloud-based MDM with a UI similar to Reltio, I haven't used it, so I can't comment on its effectiveness."

"Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work."

"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."

"The solution is quite expensive."

"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."

"User/group administration could use improvement."

"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."

"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."

"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."

"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."

"We have had some issues with version migration, from one version of processes to another. We would have to call Oracle Services but on a day to day, we didn't have any issues."

"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."

"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."

"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."

More Oracle BPM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."

"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."

"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."

"Informatica Axon is expensive."

"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."

"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."

"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."

"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pricing and cost advice

"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."

"The pricing is significantly high, particularly for Brazil where fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the real can further increase the cost of Oracle licenses."

"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."

"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."

"I don't have information on the exact cost of Oracle BPM because a different team handles that, but it's pretty high. Oracle products are very costly. I would rate pricing for Oracle BPM three out of five. Though the pricing is high, the solution has a lot of features."

"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."

"The licensing model is good."

"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
