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

"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"Single and consistent view of Customer Data arising from a centralized data set with unique customer records."
"It's helpful in integration, and it can be moved around in SharePoint. So, from the SharePoint View, data integration and reporting, it help a lot in that way."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"The solution offers good data governance."
"We are gaining our customers' confidence, and they rely on us for data classification."
"It's one of the best tools in its class."
"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."
"It's a stable solution. I have no complaints."

"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."
"Has a good user interface and the ability to update large sets of products quickly."
"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."
 

Cons

"From my point of view, a quick response time is needed when searching for an item."
"The downside of this solution is that the UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."
"The integration with older technology and cloud quality needs improvement."
"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."
"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."
"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"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."
"Integration could be better. Riversand is majorly focusing on only the MDM hub part."
"The technical support for partners is not so good. It takes a long time to get a response."
"The solution does not have a good match and search capability."
"The ability to create bespoke workflows could be improved."
"The ability to create bespoke workflows could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"It's an expensive solution."
"It's a costly solution"
"Riversand MDMCenter isn't expensive. I believe their price is in the mid-range."
