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's most valuable features are its data quality, match-merge engine, and CLAIRE AI engine, which helps with AI automation."

"It is quite easy to use and flexible."

"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."

"This is where I think MDM shines - with its strong fuzzy matching algorithm. This is the essence of Informatica MDM. Based on these results, I can write our match conditions and then perform the corresponding data management activities."

"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."

"Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good."

"We've used the solution for quite some time, so in our organization, the product is pretty mature."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"The most valuable feature is the ability to use JavaScript in formulas."

"Using DRG within Oracle Data Relationship Management has been beneficial for our organization."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons

"There is room for improvement at the highest level in terms of useability and connectors for various types of new applications. The row processing performance could be better because you experience some latency dealing with high volumes of data. Most organizations will be dealing with multiple cloud applications, so you could see performance issues moving from one system to another."

"I feel the out-of-the-box APIs or the API management could be improved slightly from their current state. It could be more user-friendly."

"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."

"Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work."

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

"The solution should improve its integration."

"Their UI needs improvement. Their scorecards and reporting also need improvement. Their data quality reporting, especially their dashboards and scorecards, is lackluster at best. Its reporting capabilities are limited. If you want to do anything beyond its limited reporting capabilities, then you're going to have to use an external reporting tool such as Power BI or something like that."

"The UI is extremely complex"

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."

"Better external connections and API integrations are needed."

"Improvements are needed in the fees and the licensing part. The tool's price can be made lower."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an expensive solution."

"Informatica is very expensive."

"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 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."

"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."

"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."

"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
