Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

A user-friendly data management software with a valuable matching feature
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We reduced product data setup time from 1.5 hours to 30 minutes."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality was most valuable for our real-time data quality monitoring needs."
"It has improved our organization because it has made our data more reliable. Data is the most important asset these days, and in order to trust your data, you need these tools to make sure that your data is clean and reliable."
"I was responsible for installing Informatica Cloud Data Quality on Google infrastructure, which was straightforward."
"The solution's technical support is pretty good, especially since the turnaround time is good."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration has a strong enterprise customer base and this is one of the main reasons why we choose to work with them."
"This solution allows you to easily access and make use of information that you have in your on-premises environment."
"When we use Informatica, we have a complete global vision of our clouds and the local application data and that is very important for us."
"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. 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."
"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

"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"I would like to see better visuals for business users, such as a dashboard where they can precisely track where problems are."
"Considering internal data from legacy systems, it is quite difficult to know if Informatica Data Quality meets that high level of accuracy criteria."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"You cannot import the data discovery rules you create in the solution to the Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC)."
"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities."
"The solution does not have a good match and search capability."
"The ability to create bespoke workflows could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"The price is comparable."
"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."
"Riversand MDMCenter isn't expensive. I believe their price is in the mid-range."
