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

"The data quality component is very good."

"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."

"It has good processes and governance."

"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."

"Informatica provides a comprehensive solution for on-the-fly or real-time data masking."

"The features for data quality, data cataloging, and UI are excellent."

"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."

"The solution is easier to use compared to the other solutions."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"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'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."

"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."

"With Oracle Data Quality, the most valuable feature is entity matching."

"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."

"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."

More Oracle Enterprise Data Quality (EDQ) pros

Cons

"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."

"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."

"There's definitely room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness. One example is that you can't search for jobs directly by file name. You can only search by job name. So, if you want to find a job that works with a specific file, you have to go through each job individually to find the right one. So, I'd like to see a faster search, one where I can search directly by file name."

"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."

"The solution should improve its integration."

"One is the insight into the data lineage which was a huge promise made by the product, but one that it never delivered in practice."

"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."

"It could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The initial setup was complicated, there is a lot of configuration that needs to be done."

"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."

"There are some challenges with respect to standardization, matching, segregation, and merging."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."

"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."

"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."

"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."

"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."

"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."

"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."
