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

"Product-wise, compared to other on-premise tools, Informatica Cloud Data Integration can be deployed on-premises and cloud."
"What took 10 hours to do in the on-prem version, takes less than an hour in the cloud."
"The Informatica MDM tool provided a very robust and cost effective solution to implement a single view of physicians."
"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"I am a fan of Informatica and it is definitely a product that I recommend because of its inbuilt capabilities."
"We primarily used Cloud Data Profiling to connect with Cloud Data Governance, a tool also used by Teva. This integration allowed users to access data quality results within the data governance catalog."
"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."
"This product really improves my organization and fits all of the needed requirements for working with cleansed data."
"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)."
"With Oracle Data Quality, the most valuable feature is entity matching."
"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."
"The quality of data has vastly improved and our business intelligence reports are accurate in real time."
"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."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"Compared to the competition, Oracle Data Quality is a very flexible and advanced product."
"The technical support is very good; we had a good experience with the support."
 

Cons

"Informatica Axon needs to improve its interface."
"There were some features I thought were better on-premises, but it feels a catch-up game."
"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."
"The product's pricing is definitely an area where a bit of improvement is needed."
"Not all transformations are supported, unlike PowerCenter."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"The UI is extremely complex"
"In general, it is good. We used to face some Java application problems, approximately two issues a month."
"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."
"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.)."
"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."
"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."
"Mobile support and mobile app can be implemented, since business users generally prefers to work with their laptops and mobile phones."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"So, there are plans for licensing. There are subscription-based and usage-based licenses. Also, there are licenses for exceptional analytics, etc. In short, there are different models of licensing for every enterprise."
"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."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
"The price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."
