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 is easy to create REST-based interfaces of the master data objects."
"Most of our customers were using excel and email-based communication for data access, and these new-age solutions improve efficiency ten times or more."
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"This product really improves my organization and fits all of the needed requirements for working with cleansed data."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"I am a fan of Informatica and it is definitely a product that I recommend because of its inbuilt capabilities."
"The solution is applicable for both technical and business users."
"With Oracle Data Quality, the most valuable feature is entity matching."
"However, I think Oracle Data Quality is definitely worth giving a try."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and maintain."
"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."
"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 technical support is very good; we had a good experience with the support."
"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."
"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)."
 

Cons

"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready. They need to add more features, such as improved data replication features. If you look at other tools, such as Matillion they are now cloud-native and flexible. Additionally, Informatica Cloud Data Integration should have a good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used. Each customer purchases a certain amount of IPUs per month, but you can use more or less than that defined quantity. The only problem is if you don't use the all your IPUs, they don't carry over into the next month. I think customers should have the ability to transfer unused IPUs into the next month or year. This improvement could help give customers more flexibility, especially since cloud solutions need flexibility in how we use and pay for them."
"One area that could use improvement is the speed of the web interfaces. At present, they are very slow. I think it is essential that we are original and robust on-premises."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"If the length of time required for deployment was reduced then it would be very helpful."
"Integration performance and availability of out of the box integration to more products (ERP Tools, Data Cleansing Software etc.)."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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

"We got a 50% discount."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"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."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"The pricing model is something that can be improved."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"It's an expensive solution."
"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."
"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
"The price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."
