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.

Beneficial data security, good support, and straightforward initial setup
The initial setup of Protegrity Data Security was straightforward. However, we had a few problems, it's not multi-tenanted. It does not have a hierarchy of roles and differential priorities. To have the initial sandbox version of Protegrity Data Security up and running, took approximately one week. However, it needed to be set up in a resilient way because if it fails, then it is going to be a challenge bringing back the lost information. We have to be particular in terms of architecting it correctly which is taking us a bit of time. We are anticipating anywhere between four to six weeks to be finished.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The solution's scalability is high."
"The scalability of the solution is excellent."
"Seeing the data in the mapping itself is really nice."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"The solution scales well."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"The product is stable."
 

Cons

"The biggest pain point for us is the documentation. Typically, you have to go through knowledge forums and knowledge groups to find out about the syntax issues for interfacing with new products. Typically, you've got to deal with someone who has been through the pain before. Their documents are not really up to date with current innovations happening in the industry. As big as they are, you can't really expect it, but that's our pain point."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"The customer servive and support could be faster. There is a slow turnaround."
"I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."
"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"The product is very expensive"
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"We pay for a few additional services apart from its licenses."
