Featured Reviews

Saikat Ghosh - PeerSpot reviewer
Match and merge functionality is still the best but cloud version needs more functionality
There are various areas for improvement in IDMC. Enhancements on basic data management functionality and the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial. Bulk data management features could be improved from the UI perspective to get to the level of the on prem versions of Informatica MDM. The tool needs to mature but missing small but important features, like restricted dynamic attributes functionality, data inheritance rules in master hierachies, identifiers not being passed in jobs is a drawback.
Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easier to use compared to the other solutions."
"The support is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog is it provides clients with a full view of the enterprise data assets. For example, how many data assets they have and who owns them."
"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."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."
"The solution is stable."
"I have rated the stability a ten out of ten due to a high level of satisfaction."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."
 

Cons

"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
"Informatica Axon needs to improve its interface."
"The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The only thing that I can imagine that might be improved is how the available transactions verify addresses used. These transactions have a valid end date and must be used within the agreed timeframe."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
