Good for data governance, data quality and data exploration
The major points of improvement are stability, integration, and permission to sub-folders or categories of data. If you want to provide access to a particular type of data discovery to a team, it exposes a lot of data points which in turn makes Axon not that useful for them. Permissions, scalability, and connection with other informatic tools are the main areas that need development. Integration with other tools, such as IDQ, is challenging. The management of data discovery is highly challenging because many data points have identical definitions. Mostly, this will come under the data security permission level or admin access.

Robust automation capabilities for seamless data exchange and process synchronization, but its complexity and occasional stability issues may pose challenges during implementation
The technical support from SAP is commendable. However, the support process involves different levels. Level one entails a basic investigation, and based on the incident's complexity, it may escalate to the second or third level. If it is product-related, it reaches level three of product support. Despite the established process, reaching the product support level is time-consuming. The resolution of actual product issues takes longer than anticipated. To enhance customer experiences, SAP can reduce the initial response time, improving turnaround time for issue resolution. Additionally, there is a need to enhance stability and optimize SAP BI for handling high-volume transactions and data exchanges, making it more lightweight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."
"The product improves data quality."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
"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."
"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 standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"The performance of data processing has increased."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends. The solution is good, but it definitely needs a lot of improvement and needs to speed up as per the market."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
"The product is not too user-friendly to do the configurations."
"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"We got a 50% discount."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"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."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"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."
"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
