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.
Peeyush Chouksey - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows us to integrate different cloud services with different applications
It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot. When it comes to mapping, you are quite restricted. If you have to use a specific, typical function, you need to do a Java callout or something. OSB has a lot of features they are using like Java APIs because it's on-premises.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"The solution scales well."
"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"The solution offers good data governance."
"It has flexibility in extending the data model."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"The solution is easy to manage and offers good integration. You can run all the tasks one by one which is really helpful, and pick the day and time to do so."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes integration faster."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"The most valuable thing to me is its simplicity. A person with zero knowledge can also develop the integration without having extensive technology knowledgebase. They can also work on creating their own integration."
 

Cons

"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"Although we are very satisfied with the design of the UI, executing tasks with it can be difficult."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"It can be made much easier for users. They should be allowed to easily monitor the data extraction and flow, allowing them to observe real-time data flow within the software, making the process straightforward."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"I would like to see different cloud adapters or connectors in case of integration. When you have Oracle to Oracle, they are good. They have really good connectors, but if it is a different ERP, like Obsidian, that is where they are faced with problems in OIC."
"Bulk uploading can be a problem when you hit the upper limit."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica is very expensive."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"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 expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
