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

"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
"Informatica MDM's most valuable feature is the interconnection between multiple Master Data domains."
"Axon has something called Overlay, which can be used to extend the technical lineage."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is Master Data Management. You can write code to build your logic rules to check the quality."
"Product-wise, compared to other on-premise tools, Informatica Cloud Data Integration can be deployed on-premises and cloud."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"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."

"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."
"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."
"It's a stable solution. I have no complaints."
"Has a good user interface and the ability to update large sets of products quickly."
 

Cons

"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready. They need to add more features, such as improved data replication features. If you look at other tools, such as Matillion they are now cloud-native and flexible. Additionally, Informatica Cloud Data Integration should have a good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"Don't know yet. In a trial now. There is much to find out, first and foremost, its performance level when compared with on-prem."
"The data discovery isn't that good yet for Salesforce."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."
"The technical support for partners is not so good. It takes a long time to get a response."
"Integration could be better. Riversand is majorly focusing on only the MDM hub part."
"The ability to create bespoke workflows could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica is very expensive."
"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."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"Riversand MDMCenter isn't expensive. I believe their price is in the mid-range."
