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

"Informatica comes with a predefined data model which is the way in which you enrich your products, acting not only as master data but also as a product enrichment tool, providing flexibility with an undefined number of attributes that define a product and the ability to plug it in with any e-commerce website."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"This flexibility is what I really love about Informatica."
"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."
"The data quality component is very good."
"I feel like we're always getting good support from Informatica, even when there are technical challenges, it's one of the best things about the solution."
"With my firm, our use of Informatica Cloud is primarily to implement a set of financial integrations from various accounting systems into a Salesforce environment, and by leveraging Informatica Cloud Mapping Designer, we were able to create sets of reusable templates that were source agnostic, making supporting the integration for hundreds of customers feasible with just a small team of integration specialists."
"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."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"The technical support is very good; we had a good experience with the support."
"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)."
"Oracle EDQ is indeed a state-of-the-art tool that will help you understand, improve, protect, and govern the quality of your enterprise data in a single integrated and collaborative environment."
"However, I think Oracle Data Quality is definitely worth giving a try."
"Compared to the competition, Oracle Data Quality is a very flexible and advanced product."
 

Cons

"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"Informatica Axon's response times and certain aspects of the admin panel could be enhanced for better usability."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"The integration process is not easy."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"If given the opportunity, I would like to address these concerns, particularly with regard to enhancing the end-user experience."
"The only thing that I can imagine that might be improved is how the available transactions verify addresses used. These transactions have a valid end date and must be used within the agreed timeframe."
"We have experienced some system crashes i.e. when tying to run Data Profiling Processes for very large data sets."
"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."
"The initial setup was complicated, there is a lot of configuration that needs to be done."
"There are some challenges with respect to standardization, matching, segregation, and merging."
"If the length of time required for deployment was reduced then it would be very helpful."
"Mobile support and mobile app can be implemented, since business users generally prefers to work with their laptops and mobile phones."
"Integration performance and availability of out of the box integration to more products (ERP Tools, Data Cleansing Software etc.)."
"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 Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"We got a 50% discount."
"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."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"It's a very expensive solution"
"The solution is very expensive."
"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
"The price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."
