Raj Sethupathi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Good for diagnostics, stable, and has a straightforward setup, but lacks technology references
What's missing in the Talend MDM Platform is that it's not maintaining technology references. For example, my company needs a reference case if the platform has been implemented for a configuration that's similar to the client's required configuration. Currently, the client is still reluctant to roll out the Talend MDM Platform at a wider level because there's still no reference received from the Talend team.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Seeing the data in the mapping itself is really nice."
"It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status."
"Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good."
"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"It is a very stable solution. I rate its stability a ten out of ten...It is a scalable solution...Informatica Axon's technical support is good."
"Axon does one interesting thing that I don't think other tools do as well. It lets you rate data and incorporates Informatica's data quality feature into it. There are little indications and graphics that show you how good the data quality is, and you can drill into it to see where potential issues lie."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"What I like about the Talend MDM Platform is that it's a good vendor diagnostic tool."
 

Cons

"The ability of the product to leverage the power of big data could be improved."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"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."
"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"Its pricing model can be improved. The response time from technical support can also be improved."
"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."
"Enhancements on the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial."
"What's missing in the Talend MDM Platform is that it's not maintaining technology references. For example, my company needs a reference case if the platform has been implemented for a configuration that's similar to the client's required configuration. Currently, the client is still reluctant to roll out the Talend MDM Platform at a wider level because there's still no reference received from the Talend team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a very expensive solution"
"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 solution is very expensive."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"It's a costly solution"
"Informatica MDM is a costly solution because it comes as a bundle. They are also globally positioning themselves and are definitely working on very upgraded technologies. If someone wanted to do it on the cloud, they have a lot of flexibility because they upgrade themselves according to the current needs. It definitely comes with a lot of features and that's the reason why it's costly. The licensing cost should be approximately one million dollars. It's about four to five times that of other vendors."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"The licensing cost for the Talend MDM Platform is paid yearly, but I'm unable to give you the figure. I would rate its price as four out of five because it's on the cheaper side. I'm not aware of any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for the Talend MDM Platform."
