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 applicable for both technical and business users."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog is it provides clients with a full view of the enterprise data assets. For example, how many data assets they have and who owns them."
"We have a lot of integrations, and it's very easy to create integrations. They have a lot of connectors."
"The user interface is flexible and the visibility of the data flow is amazing."
"The support is very good."
"The interface has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
 

Cons

"The regions in which the data resides are still limited. This could be an issue in terms of the data residency laws of some of the countries. They should get more regions."
"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."
"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"The customer servive and support could be faster. There is a slow turnaround."
"Most of the new features added by Informatica are through Elastic Mapping. It would be helpful to have features like multithreading or partitioning for Salesforce to enhance performance."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends. The solution is good, but it definitely needs a lot of improvement and needs to speed up as per the market."
"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."
"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"The product is highly-priced."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"The price is comparable."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
"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."
"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 price of the solution is very, very high."
