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

"Data synchronization tasks."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."
"We can scan anything."
"I do a quite a lot of data transformations, and the fact that I can do them without changing any of my SQL queries from the code, using the inbuilt tools, is very helpful."
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"It is very useful for testing purposes and designing mappings for small projects. If you go for IDQ in the mapping itself, you can see the data. You can then correct it, and test it so easily. It is working fine. It is also stable, scalable, and easy to deploy."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."
"Hybris is stable and has good architecture. It's easy to maintain."
 

Cons

"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."
"Once the data is masked, we won't be able to reverse it back to its original value."
"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"The solution still is a bit manual in its functionality. We want t to be more automation-driven."
"Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"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

"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
"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 quite flexible."
"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..
