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.

Built for everything and packed with features but there are some monitoring limitations
Our company uses the solution to provide data integration services for customers. Most of our implementations are on-premises for large or enterprise-level customers.  We have six users with experience in both the local studio and the enterprise versions.  The solution can run on any machine and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their new licensing is very flexible. With Informatica Cloud, you have plenty of items under the same umbrella, such as services, offerings, data quality, and data masking. You have also got master data management and API management. What I really like about them is that you don't need to go to Informatica and say that you need a data integration module. You would say that you need iPaaS or Informatica Cloud. They'll then try to understand your needs and give you IPUs, which are the processing units. If I purchased a hundred IPUs from Informatica as a customer, I can use 70 IPUs for data integration. I would also need data quality, so I can use 10 IPUs for data quality. I can use the remaining 20 IPUs for API management. Down the line, if I see that my initial data integration needs for the development phase are met, then out of the 70 IPUs assigned for data integration, I can use 30 IPUs for data masking. I can shuffle these numbers in any way within the Informatica Cloud umbrella for the tenure for which I have subscribed to these IPUs. I can use all services the way I want. This flexibility is what I really love about Informatica. It also has got good connectors."
"There are a couple of valuable features. One is that it is very quick on the profiling. So, you get a very fast snapshot of the type of data that you're looking at from the profiling perspective. It can highlight anomalies in the data."
"Informatica Persistent Data Masking can mask production data for different users, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."
"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"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 can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"The availability of connectors is great."
 

Cons

"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
"Informatica Axon does not provide complete transparency about the level of detailing you need and the logic used in ETL."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"There is room for improvement in the Data Marketplace aspect."
"Their UI needs improvement. Their scorecards and reporting also need improvement. Their data quality reporting, especially their dashboards and scorecards, is lackluster at best. Its reporting capabilities are limited. If you want to do anything beyond its limited reporting capabilities, then you're going to have to use an external reporting tool such as Power BI or something like that."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"The price is comparable."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"The price of the Talend Data Management Platform is reasonable. The other competing solutions are priced high. Gartner Magic Quadrant identified other solutions, such as Informatica, that are far more expensive."
"The tool is cheap."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
