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 most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"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 MDM has helped our organization because we now work from a harmonized single record for customers and patients."
"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."
"The solution has multiple valuable features for metadata collection"
"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"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."
"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 technical support is very good; we had a good experience with the support."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"This service could be more cost-effective."
"Informatica goes down for maintenance quite a lot due to the upgrades."
"The initial setup is very, very difficult."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"I think the price modeling could be improved."
"Complex to adapt data model provided using web service and e-commerce one."
"There are challenges when we use Cloud Application Integration (CAI). The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"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."
"Mobile support and mobile app can be implemented, since business users generally prefers to work with their laptops and mobile phones."
"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."
"There are some challenges with respect to standardization, matching, segregation, and merging."
"Integration performance and availability of out of the box integration to more products (ERP Tools, Data Cleansing Software etc.)."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"We pay for a yearly subscription."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"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 price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."
"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
