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.

Provides great data integration and takes out the complexity of building your own tech stack
Palantir Foundry builds full applications for us. We can build an end-to-end application from data ingestion and data pipelining, to application building. Early on, we built an internal application that ingested data from our ERP and BI environment that is used by around 700 users.  Palantir…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"​The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them."
"Their new licensing is very flexible. With Informatica Cloud, you have plenty of items under the same umbrella, such as services, offerings, data quality, and data masking. You have also got master data management and API management. What I really like about them is that you don't need to go to Informatica and say that you need a data integration module. You would say that you need iPaaS or Informatica Cloud. They'll then try to understand your needs and give you IPUs, which are the processing units. If I purchased a hundred IPUs from Informatica as a customer, I can use 70 IPUs for data integration. I would also need data quality, so I can use 10 IPUs for data quality. I can use the remaining 20 IPUs for API management. Down the line, if I see that my initial data integration needs for the development phase are met, then out of the 70 IPUs assigned for data integration, I can use 30 IPUs for data masking. I can shuffle these numbers in any way within the Informatica Cloud umbrella for the tenure for which I have subscribed to these IPUs. I can use all services the way I want. This flexibility is what I really love about Informatica. It also has got good connectors."
"We can scan anything."
"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"The product improves data quality."
"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"Offers data lineage feature"
"The data lineage is great."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"It's scalable."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"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."
"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."
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."
"The solution should improve its integration."
"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"The workflow could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"The price is comparable."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
