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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"The product is stable."
"The most valuable features are data quality, data integrate transformations, match-merge, and a few MDM solutions we build into data quality transformation."
"The solution is straightforward."
"The advanced features like task flow and conditional integration are particularly useful."
"The ability to clean out data and improve the data quality is the best feature."
"Has a good user interface and the ability to update large sets of products quickly."
"It's a stable solution. I have no complaints."
"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."
 

Cons

"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"I would like to see support for more data sources."
"The product interface could be improved to be more intuitive."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"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 ability to create bespoke workflows could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"The price is comparable."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"Riversand MDMCenter isn't expensive. I believe their price is in the mid-range."
