Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

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 has improved our organization because it has made our data more reliable. Data is the most important asset these days, and in order to trust your data, you need these tools to make sure that your data is clean and reliable."
"We have matured as an organization with regards to better quality management, and we have evolved over time."
"When we use Informatica, we have a complete global vision of our clouds and the local application data and that is very important for us."
"Having access to PIM production, we get all the details of the supplier from here and we also get to update the information on the master catalog for urgent tasks."
"What I do appreciate about the cloud is the transparent update cycles with minimal downtime, all managed within the cloud environment, which definitely provides a better user experience."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"From a technical point of view, it's a great product."
"The most valuable feature is its friendly user interface, which makes it easier to create quality shared functionalities or quality rules."
"However, I think Oracle Data Quality is definitely worth giving a try."
"Oracle Data Quality gives you value for money and better ROI, especially when it's deployed on the cloud, because it's fast, ready to use, and you can just subscribe and provision it, then start using it without great effort for setup, installation, or configuration."
"Compared to the competition, Oracle Data Quality is a very flexible and advanced product."
"I'd recommend this solution to anyone who is using data quality or would want to know the quality of data in their company and fix the data."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and maintain."
"OEDQ helped us to define Data Quality issues from a business perspective by business users and ability to manage those issues within our ETL tool (Oracle Data Integrator - ODI)."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"With Oracle Data Quality, the most valuable feature is entity matching."
 

Cons

"Support response time could be better."
"The tool is quite good overall, but sometimes the number of modules can be overwhelming. If the development interface could be optimized to have fewer modules, it would be greatly beneficial."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"Database access is highly restricted with PIM."
"Permissions, scalability, and connection with other informatic tools are the main areas that need development. Integration with other tools, such as IDQ, is challenging. The management of data discovery is highly challenging because many data points have identical definitions."
"There are challenges when we use Cloud Application Integration (CAI). The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"Informatica's support understands the solution, but they lack the experience we need for our use case. That was one thing that we prioritized when we started searching for this kind of solution."
"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."
"The initial setup was complicated, there is a lot of configuration that needs to be done."
"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."
"Mobile support and mobile app can be implemented, since business users generally prefers to work with their laptops and mobile phones."
"There are some challenges with respect to standardization, matching, segregation, and merging."
"We have experienced some system crashes i.e. when tying to run Data Profiling Processes for very large data sets."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"The licensing costs attached to the solution are pretty high, but then, with the cloud model, the prices depend on what it provides for the value of money, which I feel was very high."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"The price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."
"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
