Raj Sethupathi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Used to manage the complete attributes of products, but its installation could be a little bit easier
The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. It's not difficult for people to learn to use the solution. Oracle provides training to use the solution through many training videos available on Oracle University. I would recommend the solution to other users. Once you create an item in the solution, it will be automatically available in other modules. The solution is fully integrated with other Oracle models. If you want to integrate the solution with non-Oracle modules, you have to work on it. There are always options to integrate the solution with non-Oracle applications. It would be easier to integrate the solution with other Oracle applications because there are options to do so. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Informatica Persistent Data Masking can mask production data for different users, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information."
"The match and merge functionality is invaluable for discovering golden master data records."
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
"The support is very good."
"The Mapping Designer allows for declarative ETL development (visual scripting) that leverages a wide array of different transformations."

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."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."
"I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement."
"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
"The solution's installation could be a little bit easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
