We can draw and document our processes, then analyze data within SAP Signavio Process Manager.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.9
Informatica's customer service is praised for quick, knowledgeable support, though response times can vary with customization and membership levels.
Sentiment score
6.8
SAP Signavio Process Manager's support is effective and responsive, with users praising quick resolutions and the knowledgeable team.
If they are unsure how to resolve an issue, they keep customers informed, providing updates about progress and ensuring communication with the product team to deliver accurate responses.
The response time is pretty good because we have someone in-house, who is an expert from Informatica, in our team who can help us with any sort of queries usually.
I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products.
I would rate their technical support a ten.
I have not encountered issues myself, but one of my colleagues found that support was provided quite late, resolving the problem in one or two days rather than instantly.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Informatica IDMC delivers scalable, flexible data management across cloud and on-premise environments, accommodating diverse enterprise needs efficiently.
Sentiment score
7.3
SAP Signavio excels in scalability, supporting many users and processes efficiently, enhancing business transformation and seamless cloud deployment.
I find Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) to be a sustainable and scalable solution.
As a SaaS platform, IDMC is quite scalable and provides complete flexibility.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Informatica Cloud is highly rated for stability, despite occasional issues; support effectively resolves any reported bugs.
Sentiment score
7.5
SAP Signavio Process Manager is stable and reliable, with minimal downtime and users praising its performance and continuous functionality.
Stability is crucial because IDMC holds business-critical data, and it needs to be available all the time for business users.
 

Room For Improvement

Informatica IDMC requires improvements in integration, user interface, performance, support consistency, connectivity, automation, data tagging, and pricing.
SAP Signavio needs UI improvements, flexible licensing, better integration, enhanced analytics, and scalable pricing for effective workflow management.
The observability concept in Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) needs improvement as the capabilities are not up to the mark compared to the industry.
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach.
I also want to see integration with other Informatica products, such as IICS, to leverage the metadata from EDC.
It should also integrate with non-SAP systems for better functionality.
 

Setup Cost

Informatica IDMC, a costly solution for large enterprises, offers extensive features and flexibility, justifying its premium pricing.
SAP Signavio Process Manager is valuable but expensive, with flexible pricing, suitable for larger organizations due to scale.
It ranges from a quarter million to a couple of million a year.
The licenses are too expensive compared to before, which is why customers are now preferring other data metadata management tools like OneTrust, Collibra, and Azure Purview.
I think the costs are reasonable for the kinds of features that Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) has.
After SAP acquired Signavio, the prices increased significantly, making it too expensive for our small company to afford.
 

Valuable Features

Informatica IDMC excels in data management with strong integration, AI-driven analytics, and a flexible user interface.
SAP Signavio Process Manager enhances process efficiency through integration, collaboration, and intuitive modeling, supporting global access and optimization.
In on-premise, we call it EDC for metadata management, while in cloud-based technologies, it is known as the Metadata Command Center, which serves the same purpose as EDC concerning CDGC.
Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) can connect to pretty much any application, including Oracle Analytics and Power BI, and it works quite seamlessly.
The platform's ability to pull in data from other platforms without the need for an additional integration tool enhances its appeal.
The ability to perform queries is a feature unique to SAP Signavio Process Manager, and it proves to be very useful for our needs.

Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.

Transforming banking process documentation with effective collaboration tools
The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version. Although mentioned on the website, the governance feature is not available in the free trial. More guidance from support is also needed, as users can get lost on the website when looking for specific features.
