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
I use the Talend MDM Platform for managing the master data around ERP systems and customer care systems for clients What I like about the Talend MDM Platform is that it's a good vendor diagnostic tool. What's missing in the Talend MDM Platform is that it's not maintaining technology references.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are able to set rules, establish a data quality management platform, and monitor the quality."
"The solution is easier to use compared to the other solutions."
"We use parts and standardization for most of our testing. We purchase the US Postal Service address database, which is updated periodically. Many useful tools, such as Google Maps, can detect and mark new businesses or changes in business locations. Informatica captures and updates this information. Some periodic maintenance is involved, but setting it up is not overly complicated."
"Seeing the data in the mapping itself is really nice."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"What I like about the Talend MDM Platform is that it's a good vendor diagnostic tool."
 

Cons

"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"The only thing that I can imagine that might be improved is how the available transactions verify addresses used. These transactions have a valid end date and must be used within the agreed timeframe."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"The configuration process is pretty lengthy and challenging and could be made easier to understand."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep."
"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions."
"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

"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"The product has a high price point."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"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."
