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.

A highly stable solution that can be deployed very quickly and easily
You can only see the data and get the error report in SAP Information Steward. So, it is a read-only thing in SAP Information Steward. If you are using Syniti Data Quality, you can see the error and fix it by directly configuring Syniti Data Quality to write back to SAP. Syniti Data Quality allows you to update the source system. In SAP Information Steward, you can't upgrade the source system. You can just see the data and go on to the source system manually by logging in to SAP, and then you have to fix those errors. With Syniti Data Quality, you can integrate SAP and directly fix errors from Syniti Data Quality instead of logging into SAP and then fixing them.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features is that I don't need to buy a subscription for any functionality. With Informatica Cloud Data Management, I have all the functionality and features available. If I need to make an integration, I can go to that integration service. If I need to mask, provide, or clean some information, I can easily just pick up that feature and use it. It's very simple, and I have all the functions and capabilities I need to work with data."
"The solution provides increased efficiency while still being user-friendly and easy to operate."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon has been the data marketplace."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are its reliability, match functions, and integration capabilities. The out-of-box functionality of deduplication and built-in data models ensure faster implementation."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"The solution offers good data governance."
"The data quality component is very good."
"With Syniti Data Quality, you can integrate SAP and directly fix errors from Syniti Data Quality instead of logging into SAP and then fixing them."
"The customer service and support is good."
"The major benefits of Syniti Data Quality stem from the productivity and flexibility it offers to users."
"Syniti has built-in 80% of the solution, and we only need to customize 20 to 25% of the features. It is easy to run and pre-load reports."
 

Cons

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a two out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy."
"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"The solution still is a bit manual in its functionality. We want t to be more automation-driven."
"I feel the out-of-the-box APIs or the API management could be improved slightly from their current state. It could be more user-friendly."
"The main issue preventing Brazilian companies from migrating to Informatica Cloud Data Integration from on-prem is the price."
"Cost-wise, it could be better."
"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."
"The customization of the data needs improvement. We need to build basic SQL queries rather than being able to do it within the tool. We need to be able to analyze the SQL queries and then rerun them based on customer usage."
"The loading mechanisms and administration processes, particularly in setting up connections and deploying the system, need improvement."
"It would be good if Syniti Data Quality could integrate more AI in the future."
"In Syniti Data Quality, data extraction is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"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's a costly solution"
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
