Raj Sethupathi

Data Integration Consultant GCP/AWS at Infogrators Inc

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.

Architect at Netcracker

Provides a complete workflow from testing to production and can handle a million concurrent requests

The user interface is very good. Once you understand it, it's easy to define rules and do any configurations. It comes with an embedded WebLogic application server, which you have to deploy automatically. Once you run the given binary, it will automatically keep everything on the backend. You'll have to create an instant database, and maintain or manage it based on the rules engine. After that, your system is ready to test. The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production. Throughout the testing, everything was good. Many customers are interested in the rules engine. A lot of requests pass through BPM because it's integrated with a lot of other applications or sub-applications.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."

"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are it is cloud-enabled and has all the elements that are supposed to have in terms of MDM as a solution. All the features that are there. It is very well-integrated with any of the SAP and non-SAP applications. It is quite user-friendly. The user experience that you receive in Informatica MDM is quite good."

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

"The solution is easier to use compared to the other solutions."

"The product is scalable and excellent for enterprise-level organizations."

"It is very useful for testing purposes and designing mappings for small projects. If you go for IDQ in the mapping itself, you can see the data. You can then correct it, and test it so easily. It is working fine. It is also stable, scalable, and easy to deploy."

"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."

"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance. Everything can be built under one particular umbrella. If any issues come up, then there won't be any blame game saying that it could be an integration issue or an MDM hub issue because it's wholly owned by Informatica. That's the biggest advantage of Informatica MDM over that of any other tools that are available on the market."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The solution provides extensive functionalities."

"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations. The solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."

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

"It is easy and cheap."

"We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape. We had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems."

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

"The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production."

Cons

"Data integration should be improved."

"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."

"The configurations could be better. It is a bit confusing because we must develop two tools when building a data model in Informatica MDM. Even though Informatica MDM is a single tool, we have our hub console plus the provisioning tool within that. Whatever data model we are building in the hub console, we have to develop it in the provisioning tool again. It is double the work to create a data model. We are also using external calls or the Java custom plans functions. This can be both positive and negative. Since MDM as a client does not support any complex validation, we have to depend on the external call or a Java call. Every time we deployed, the entire solution was impacted if something went wrong."

"We'd like to see the microservices, which don't run yet because the solution is not yet fully cloud-based."

"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."

"Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."

"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."

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

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

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

"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."

"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."

"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."

"You have to maintain it manually."

"The solution's licensing cost is very high."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We got a 50% discount."

"The price is comparable."

"It's an expensive solution."

"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."

"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."

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

"We are quite happy with the licensing model."

"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."

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

"The licensing model is good."

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

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

"The pricing is very expensive."

"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."

"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."

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