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.

Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
SAP Process Orchestration is used as a middleware for B2B and AI integrations. It serves as a standard middleware for SAP projects, facilitating data exchange between external partners or internal systems.  It is particularly beneficial in the defense industry for orchestrating logistics…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability is very high."
"I do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset."
"New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"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."
"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
"It gives you accountability to centralize your data and have it available to different applications."
"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."
"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."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It is simple to transfer files."
 

Cons

"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"The scalability is tough."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"The setup is complex."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a two out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"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."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
