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

"The solution is easier to use compared to the other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog is it provides clients with a full view of the enterprise data assets. For example, how many data assets they have and who owns them."
"Data synchronization tasks."
"It is easy to create REST-based interfaces of the master data objects."
"The solution is straightforward."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is pretty good, especially since the turnaround time is good."
"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."
"What I like about the Talend MDM Platform is that it's a good vendor diagnostic tool."
 

Cons

"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"They need more feature flexibility, as it is not fully developed."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"Its pricing model can be improved. The response time from technical support can also be improved."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"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

"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"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."
"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."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"The solution is very expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"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."
