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 profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"The most valuable features are that MDM has a very strong master merchant, and it's possible to model all kinds of domains in one solution."
"Informatica Data Quality is a product that is worth the money."
"Informatica MDM has helped our organization because we now work from a harmonized single record for customers and patients."
"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."
"It has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms, and they're very robust."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The interface is really good."
"The technical support is very good; we had a good experience with the support."
"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."
"Compared to the competition, Oracle Data Quality is a very flexible and advanced product."
"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."
"However, I think Oracle Data Quality is definitely worth giving a try."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
 

Cons

"I remember when I used it, there was some limitation in one of the data quality dimensions. I was not able to perform certain tasks on the cloud version, even though I could do them on the data center version."
"Their data quality reporting, especially their dashboards and scorecards, is lackluster at best."
"When we compared Informatica to SAP, we realized that we lose the ability to integrate easily with our SAP business applications"
"Mainly, MDM requires improvement when you need to migrate your version to a later one -- because it is very difficult and takes a lot of time to convert the processes you have already developed and implemented on a previous version, and can cause a need to rework the processes."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"They could provide more robust performance for data integration processes. It would help in improving the data quality more efficiently."
"We experienced several basic issues with the product that required daily meetings with Informatica product specialists."
"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."
"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.)."
"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."
"There are some challenges with respect to standardization, matching, segregation, and merging."
"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 is very expensive."
"Informatica MDM is a costly solution because it comes as a bundle. They are also globally positioning themselves and are definitely working on very upgraded technologies. If someone wanted to do it on the cloud, they have a lot of flexibility because they upgrade themselves according to the current needs. It definitely comes with a lot of features and that's the reason why it's costly. The licensing cost should be approximately one million dollars. It's about four to five times that of other vendors."
"It's a costly solution"
"We pay for a yearly subscription."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"The price is comparable."
"We got a 50% discount."
"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
"The price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."
