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.
Parshuram Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."
"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"The advanced features like task flow and conditional integration are particularly useful."
"The interface is really good."
"It has flexibility in extending the data model."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the management of the complete attributes of products and services."
 

Cons

"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
"The integration with other data management tools can be enhanced. For instance, there is no integration with tools like Collibra or Hubview."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"Its features for partitioning and optimization could be better."
"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."
"The solution's installation could be a little bit easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"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."
"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."
"The product is highly-priced."
"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
