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.

Offers features that pinpoints locations with maps and provides reporting about data performance and completeness
Until I work with a customer, I won't be able to recognize the performance regarding the integration of records, especially when records are coming in as a full load or a delta after an initial load. I have to check how it performs in the integration part when pushing the entire data into MDM. Most tools have a downside in this area. So far, I have not faced any other problems regarding Reltio. I just did a certification and the provided hands-on exercises. I didn't find anything concerning, but I would definitely want to use the AI features introduced in Reltio more. The Hands-on Lab in the certification allows you to try out certain AI features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"Informatica Data Quality is a product that is worth the money."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"We can scan anything."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"There are default limitations and considerations. For instance, Reltio can store a maximum of 200 values for a single attribute. If your data exceeds this limit, you can request Reltio support to increase the limit. However, be aware that increasing this limit may impact performance, potentially slowing down data loading times."
"We can store the data and enrich it from multiple sources."
"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."
"The matching feature of Reltio Cloud is highly effective compared to many other tools available. Additionally, it is almost ready to use out-of-the-box, reducing the implementation time."
"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."
"Its user interface is different from that of other MDM solutions like Informatica"
"It is very easy to learn. The"
"The most valuable feature is real-time synchronization. You can see the events as soon as they are posted within a couple of fraction seconds."
 

Cons

"It could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"Informatica MDM has a complex user interface, which could be improved."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"There is some lag in developing new features for specific business requirements. If a new feature is needed, we have to raise a request in the developer portal through the IDEA portal. This process takes time to develop, which can be a drawback when immediate business needs arise."
"The download process can be quite slow"
"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."
"Sometimes, the service goes down for maintenance or when we run a lot of jobs so things get pushed to the queue and results don't get delivered on time."
"Reltio Cloud could be improved in two specific areas. Firstly, the API capability needs to be enhanced, as when utilizing the REST API and posting a significant amount of data, there are multiple rejections from the MDM side. This can be due to the MDM server not responding or being unable to process the request. Therefore, I suggest that the API capacity should be increased to handle larger amounts of data. Additionally, I have noticed that the response time from the servers can take up to a minute or a few seconds, which can be improved for a faster response time."
"Initially, the UI was limited in features."
"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."
"The deployment is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"The product is very expensive"
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
