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

"For the kind of application we have built and run on this tool, it has been very stable and has given consistent performance."
"Axon does one interesting thing that I don't think other tools do as well. It lets you rate data and incorporates Informatica's data quality feature into it. There are little indications and graphics that show you how good the data quality is, and you can drill into it to see where potential issues lie."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"The most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Integration for our clients are the AI capabilities within Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution to others."
"Product-wise, compared to other on-premise tools, Informatica Cloud Data Integration can be deployed on-premises and cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"The technical support is very good; we had a good experience with the support."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"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."
"Compared to the competition, Oracle Data Quality is a very flexible and advanced product."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and maintain."
"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."
"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."
"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

"The product isn't mature enough to provide suitable connectors to various data engines."
"I think the price modeling could be improved."
"Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work."
"Compared to PowerCenter, Data Quality needs some improvement; when we are dealing with large amounts of data for extraction purposes, it doesn't always work out and we often experience some memory issues here and there."
"An area for improvement would be that the pricing model is not very visible, which makes it hard to understand how much things will cost."
"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 biggest pain point for us is the documentation."
"They could provide more robust performance for data integration processes. It would help in improving the data quality more efficiently."
"There are some challenges with respect to standardization, matching, segregation, and merging."
"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."
"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."
"Integration performance and availability of out of the box integration to more products (ERP Tools, Data Cleansing Software etc.)."
"Mobile support and mobile app can be implemented, since business users generally prefers to work with their laptops and mobile phones."
"If the length of time required for deployment was reduced then it would be very helpful."
"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."
"We have experienced some system crashes i.e. when tying to run Data Profiling Processes for very large data sets."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"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."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"The price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."
"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
