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.

It has a good architecture and it's easy to maintain
We work with various clients and use Hybris for selling different kinds of products, including merchandise, electronics, ticket reservations, electronics, and food Hybris is stable and has good architecture. It's easy to maintain.  They can change their backend because it's a little hard to work…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"The feature of auto-onboarding of the assets, enterprise assets via EDC is good."
"Offers data lineage feature"
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"We've used the solution for quite some time, so in our organization, the product is pretty mature."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"Hybris is stable and has good architecture. It's easy to maintain."
 

Cons

"With the solution, we had some issues, and we have every day, and we used to open a ticket. Sometimes, there are data issues and transformation issues."
"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"The user interface of the product needs to be improved"
"We currently have issues with real-time integration."
"The setup is complex."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"They can change their backend because it's a little hard to work with. They could streamline it with new technology."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."
"The solution is very expensive."
"It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
"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."

I was part of evaluating several vendors for MDM program at my company and after technically evaluating each of them, Informatica was the choice. It doesn't make sense to build one as the tools available in the market are sufficient to satisfy the needs of MDM program. please let me know if you need help with vendor evaluation, RFP, implementation strategy etc..
