Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

A stable solution with multiple workflow capabilities, but lightweight DAM capabilities and lacking a good search and match feature
The solution does not have a good match and search capability. It only has a basic, exact match search. Any upgrades to the search and match capability, seeing non-exact or fuzzy matches for example, would be good improvements. Also, the DAM solution provided by Riversand is comparatively lightweight, so you are still dependent on a third-party DAM solution provider, like Team Seven, to make it a complete solution. Some improvement in the DAM area would be a major help. From a data quality perspective, there are not a lot of data quality rules that can be enabled. Also, there is no specific data quality engine available, unlike Informatica, where you have the option of leveraging the PIM tool for data quality capabilities. Plus, you can leverage apps out of IDQ and make them available in PIM. If these kinds of options were made available in Riversand, they would definitely be welcome features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has multiple valuable features for metadata collection"
"I used IBM InfoSphere before but Informatica is much, much better; gold standard."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"We are gaining our customers' confidence, and they rely on us for data classification."
"The most valuable features are that MDM has a very strong master merchant, and it's possible to model all kinds of domains in one solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is the easy interface; it has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"From a technical point of view, it's a great product."
"It's a stable solution. I have no complaints."
"This solution provides a good user interface and the ability to update large sets of products quickly, along with providing good off-the-shelf functionality."
"I like their matching feature, and the survivorship rules are very strong. I also like their out-of-box reports, data quality dashboards, and more. Those are also very handy and helpful. Internally, I like the kind of configurations that we can create, validations, and enhancements. Those configurations are pretty straightforward and useful. It's a user-friendly tool that is very cool."
"There are a lot of workflow-related capabilities in Riversand, such as packaging-related AI-based algorithms that automatically assign specific packaging for a given product within the workflow."
"I like their matching feature, and the survivorship rules are very strong; I also like their out-of-box reports, data quality dashboards, and more, which are very handy and helpful, and the configurations we can create, validations, and enhancements are pretty straightforward and useful, making it a user-friendly tool that is very cool."
"Has a good user interface and the ability to update large sets of products quickly."
 

Cons

"Informatica's support understands the solution, but they lack the experience we need for our use case. That was one thing that we prioritized when we started searching for this kind of solution."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking."
"Perhaps the web services need to improve because when you create a new data file and add some changes, we must edit it and create a web service transformation again."
"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."
"The solution does not have a good match and search capability."
"Integration could be better. Riversand is majorly focusing on only the MDM hub part. They don't have their own integration platform. We have to rely on a third-party integration partner. They say this is the format, and it's the client's responsibility to bring the data into their required format. They have to have an integration partner and develop their integration capabilities. It's not so flexible to read any data format or system, for example, SAP. They don't have a connector."
"The technical support for partners is not so good. It takes a long time to get a response."
"The ability to create bespoke workflows could be improved."
"Integration could be better. Riversand is majorly focusing on only the MDM hub part."
"The ability to create bespoke workflows could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"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."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"Riversand MDMCenter isn't expensive. I believe their price is in the mid-range."
