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 am impressed by the solution's interface."
"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
"The MDM solution is capable of integrating multiple systems, so it helped us to solve the purpose of centralizing the depository as well as the standardization of mass data. It takes away all the ambiguity around data integrity issues or all the process challenges which happen when every stage of a process uses a different source as master data."
"Axon has something called Overlay, which can be used to extend the technical lineage."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"MDM doesn't require a separate IDQ."
"One of the most valuable features is that I don't need to buy a subscription for any functionality. With Informatica Cloud Data Management, I have all the functionality and features available. If I need to make an integration, I can go to that integration service. If I need to mask, provide, or clean some information, I can easily just pick up that feature and use it. It's very simple, and I have all the functions and capabilities I need to work with data."
"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."
"Has a good user interface and the ability to update large sets of products quickly."
 

Cons

"We would like to have accessibility to the repository."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."
"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository. Business rules for the attributes that you have, keeping them in that central repository, and governance of them is something which Axon is lacking a bit. The Informatica Data Quality tool actually caters to that, so that's probably why they have not built that up in the Axon, but it is definitely something that can be built in to this product, as well."
"It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"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."
"The solution does not have a good match and search capability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"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."
"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."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"The product has a high price point."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"Riversand MDMCenter isn't expensive. I believe their price is in the mid-range."
