Reltio: Question about Master Data Management Capabilities
Riversand technology is leader in the MDM space and makes a product called MDMcenter. Gartner and Forrester put these guys in a leader and visionary quadrant topping Informatica, oracle, and sap. They have a product used by many fortune 1000s and multinational companies. I have rolled out MDM solutions for a bunch of customers using different platforms and Riversand's is the best. They have cloud based and on premise solutions. It can scale from small projects to biggest implementations of the planet, different geographies/locations, langauges and near infinite entities. Their licensing can vary based on required modules; but they offer Matching, Deduplication, Searching, Workflow, Modeling, Analytics, Integration, Domain / cross-domain, Governance tools to change / commit / rollback. The applications modeling and framework is flexible so it can handle any domain, product, retail, manufacturing, customer, vendor, finance, investment vehicles, jewelry, oil and gas, person, auto, high tech, oil gas, fast food, grocery, etc. Hands down this is best product in its class. It's top shelf. Given the choice and having used other products, I'd choice Riversand over the other competing products. If you didn't check them out yet, you definitely should.

Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated
Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance. Everything can be built under one particular umbrella. If any issues come up, then there won't be any blame game saying that it could be an integration issue or an MDM hub issue because it's wholly owned by Informatica. That's the biggest advantage of Informatica MDM over that of any other tools that are available on the market."
"It allows the creation of identical tasks that can be applied across multiple tables, ranging from 100 to even 1,000 tables."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"It has flexibility in extending the data model."
"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly."
"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."
More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros
"Using DRG within Oracle Data Relationship Management has been beneficial for our organization."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to use JavaScript in formulas."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The configuration process is pretty lengthy and challenging and could be made easier to understand."
"The data discovery isn't that good yet for Salesforce. We have another tool that we use for this. It may be a problem because Salesforce on the cloud."
"There's certainly room for improvement. One crucial area is generating detailed reports on file statuses. Presently, this is represented visually, often as graphs or charts. Such reporting could offer comprehensive insights into the areas that demand attention and further scrutiny."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."
"Its features for partitioning and optimization could be better."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons
"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."
"Improvements are needed in the fees and the licensing part. The tool's price can be made lower."
"Better external connections and API integrations are needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
"The product has a high price point."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"The price is comparable."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
