Automated a lot of manual processes, improved visibility into data processes but user interface could be more intuitive
The most valuable features of Informatica Axon are the reports and statistics. It provides very good insights into pending tasks, completed tasks, and areas requiring follow-up or approval. There are various checkpoints. In one report, we can see the overall status of the system. Additionally, Informatica Axon has many out-of-the-box features when we want to configure stuff for workflows, surpassing those of other tools we evaluated, like Collibra. But Informatica is a very established tool that offers a lot of pre-configurations when we govern the workflows. So, these out-of-the-box features are much more robust, and reporting is much more robust compared to other tools. Data Lineage Feature: Data lineage is there. But not everyone is into it. We have a lot of legacy applications, and consolidation of the data into our master data management is also a parallel project going on. Right now, Informatica Axon has a fantastic lineage feature, but we do not fully use that capability in our team because there are a lot of prerequisites that we need to set before we can utilize the lineage. There are very small components where we can see some lineage. For example, if you have product dimensions or dimension-related attributes, we can see how the data lineage is going through. But for other activities, our data is distributed across different platforms and involves about 43 to 50 legacy systems. First, we are in the process of consolidating them into one hub and then do some cleanup. That would be the biggest feature for us to start with this data lineage. Right now, we don't use that capability extensively.

A comprehensive and streamlined approach to process management with a user-friendly interface and good stability capabilities
An enhancement I would appreciate is broader integration capabilities. Beyond connecting with SAP ERP, the ability to seamlessly integrate with various backend ERP systems, such as Oracle NetSuite or Microsoft Dynamics, would be valuable. This integration should facilitate data retrieval and direct connections to both the process flows and associated documents. An additional feature that would be excellent is the capability to execute database queries or actions directly from within the VPN model. The capability to create a process map and seamlessly initiate actions like generating a sales order, triggering delivery, and managing the pick pack process – all within the VPN model, would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"The user interface is flexible and the visibility of the data flow is amazing."
"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."
"Informatica provides a comprehensive solution for on-the-fly or real-time data masking."
"In the latest version, I like the outlay of the business roles creation. I like seeing that visualization as you're building it, as opposed to going through metatables or XML mappings. We liked that piece, and it makes it more intuitive for the business."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"All in all, Signavio usability is excellent. Anyone can learn to use the tool quickly. This increases acceptance as employees are not facing a high learning curve. With the offered usability it is easy to model processes also live in workshops."
"One of the most valuable features is ease of use which has really been a good thing to put into the business. People like tools that they can just pick up and use straight-away."
"The visual representation is extremely powerful and easy to use in process modeling and analysis. I can show it to someone who doesn't know business process mapping, and they still understand because it's visually presented. It becomes easy to explain variants and what needs to change."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager is very responsive."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"The Signavio tool is very easy to use and it is one of the reasons why I like it."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
 

Cons

"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"We promote our code changes from a lower to a higher environment, which is highly complex when working with a multi-domain MDM like Informatica. This is the biggest obstacle for Informatica MDM, and I think they should change it because that's very time consuming."
"Informatica Axon needs to improve its interface."
"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"Metadata querying is right now not there in Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer."
"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions."
"Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool."
"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I find it difficult to figure out how I can better align this solution with my KPIs."
"Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously."
"There could be something more on the reporting side of it for the processes you have captured or processes that might be work in progress to see where to target your effort because you don't always have lots of resources to spare"
"There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."
