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.

Its functionality and performance are adequate but it provides a single source of truth for customer data
We use it as the Master Data Management platform for a large bank in Australia which has many separate customer data repositories The intent of this platform is to provide a single source of truth for customer data. To some extent, this has been achieved. Any customer MDM project tends to be…

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 of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."
"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"I give the stability a ten out of ten."
"I like that Informatica MDM has robust matching technology. Informatica MDM is also porting the external Java applications for validations. I can consider that a must-have. It is also exposed to Rest API calls, and we can engage in real-time integrations with any third-party systems."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"A great product enrichment tool."
"The solution scales well."
"It provides a single source of truth for customer data."
 

Cons

"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"The product interface could be improved to be more intuitive."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"They could provide more robust performance for data integration processes. It would help in improving the data quality more efficiently."
"It could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue."
"OCH has adequate functionality and performance to serve a group customer master."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"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."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty 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 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."
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
