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 product provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication, machine survivorship, and other things."

"An advantage is its seamless integration with other Informatica capabilities, making data quality a deeply embedded part of the solution."

"I find this solution to be the most efficient, immersive, and robust."

"We use parts and standardization for most of our testing. We purchase the US Postal Service address database, which is updated periodically. Many useful tools, such as Google Maps, can detect and mark new businesses or changes in business locations. Informatica captures and updates this information. Some periodic maintenance is involved, but setting it up is not overly complicated."

"I would definitely recommend Informatica Data Quality to others."

"The valuable feature is metadata management. If you want to trace sensitive data, you can auto-classify them. You can search for sensitive information through EDC. Using Discovery, you can identify if there is any type of data set."

"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."

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

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"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."

"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."

"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)."

"Compared to the competition, Oracle Data Quality is a very flexible and advanced product."

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

Cons

"The tool is quite good overall, but sometimes the number of modules can be overwhelming. If the development interface could be optimized to have fewer modules, it would be greatly beneficial."

"I've found that whatever functionalities are available on-prem, can become a bit of a challenge sometimes in the cloud."

"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."

"User/group administration could use improvement."

"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."

"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."

"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."

"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"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."

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

"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."

"Mobile support and mobile app can be implemented, since business users generally prefers to work with their laptops and mobile phones."

"We have experienced some system crashes i.e. when tying to run Data Profiling Processes for very large data sets."

"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."

More Oracle Enterprise Data Quality (EDQ) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica Axon is expensive."

"It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."

"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."

"The product has a high price point."

"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."

"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."

"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."

"The price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."

"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
