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.

With the help of their active community, we can resolve any issue quickly, but they should improve the UI and make it user-friendly
It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly. The features are available in silos, but I need a complete package that is capable of doing some sort of profiling and defining stewardship.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability is very high."
"The solution is stable."
"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"It's helpful in integration, and it can be moved around in SharePoint. So, from the SharePoint View, data integration and reporting, it help a lot in that way."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"The interface has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."
"I really like the data fabric."
"The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep."
"The biggest advantage of Talend is that they have an active community. If we face any issue, we can get input in a short duration of time."
 

Cons

"If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required."
"User/group administration could use improvement."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"Although we are very satisfied with the design of the UI, executing tasks with it can be difficult."
"I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking."
"It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly."
"I do not have notes for improvement."
"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"It's a costly solution"
"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."

"It has one single license, and everything is included in it."
"The licensing fees vary depending on the products that you purchase."
