Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Fast, has good extraction, validation, and transformation features, and provides good support
Though validation is good and fast enough in Oracle Data Quality, an area for improvement is the accuracy of the validation. Though the solution offers multidimensional validation, it needs a bit more improvement in the accuracy aspect because smaller products can offer better accuracy in terms of validation compared to Oracle Data Quality. What I'd like to see from the solution in its next release, is an increase in compliances and regulations that would allow it to cover all industries because multiple verticals demand data quality nowadays, and this improvement will be helpful as Oracle Data Quality is an in-built delivered solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality was most valuable for our real-time data quality monitoring needs."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"The out-of-the-box features and standard profiling options provide quick visibility of the data within minutes, which facilitates discussions with the business."
"The product seems stable enough."
"It gives you accountability to centralize your data and have it available to different applications."
"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."
"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."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and maintain."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"With Oracle Data Quality, the most valuable feature is entity matching."
"The features I like most about Oracle Data Quality include extraction, transformation, and validation, which makes it a multipurpose product such as Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator. I also like that Oracle Data Quality is very fast, so you can use it for a large volume of data within a short period. You have to do the validation very quickly, so the solution helps in that area of data quality. Another feature of Oracle Data Quality that I like is the MDM (Master Data Management) where you'll have a single source of protection, and this makes the solution perfect and helpful to my company."
 

Cons

"In certain domains, I am looking for material-level match features that are not customizable. The current solution requires code-writing and tweaking, while other solutions offer material-level matches."
"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."
"In terms of cost effectiveness, Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is more than 20% costly compared to the industry."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"The regions in which the data resides are still limited. This could be an issue in terms of the data residency laws of some of the countries. They should get more regions."
"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."
"Right now, although they offer some templates, I would want more templates available to be imported."
"The scalability is tough."
"Oracle Data Quality should integrate with data warehousing solutions such as Azure and CWS Office. For example, having the ability to integrate with tools, such as Azure Synapse and SQL data warehousing would be a great benefit."
"Oracle is currently not that intuitive. We need to use programmers to write code for a lot of the procedures. We need to have them write CL SQL code and write a CL script."
"If the length of time required for deployment was reduced then it would be very helpful."
"Though validation is good and fast enough in Oracle Data Quality, an area for improvement is the accuracy of the validation. Though the solution offers multidimensional validation, it needs a bit more improvement in the accuracy aspect because smaller products can offer better accuracy in terms of validation compared to Oracle Data Quality. What I'd like to see from the solution in its next release, is an increase in compliances and regulations that would allow it to cover all industries because multiple verticals demand data quality nowadays, and this improvement will be helpful as Oracle Data Quality is an in-built delivered solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"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."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"The solution is expensive."
"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
"The price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."
