Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"The features that I have found most valuable are, first of all, that it comes as part of this whole bundle of Informatica tools. So if you've been implementing Informatica MDM across a business, you'd often find it comes with it. It's been thrown in as a sweetener. The adoption of it is often the challenge because as part of your MDM project, governance is seen as something beyond the MDM and is often restrictive. So this tool actually, for the first time, when you talk to data governance teams, gives a holistic view of what a data governance team can do with this tool."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"The solution is applicable for both technical and business users."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten…On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the initial setup a nine."
 

Cons

"The data discovery isn't that good yet for Salesforce. We have another tool that we use for this. It may be a problem because Salesforce on the cloud."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"The product isn't mature enough to provide suitable connectors to various data engines."
"We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer."
"Considering internal data from legacy systems, it is quite difficult to know if Informatica Data Quality meets that high level of accuracy criteria."
"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"The product interface could be improved to be more intuitive."
"The solution should improve its integration."
"Challenges with TIBCO BusinessWorks were mainly due to unclear documentation, but these were overcome by referring to comprehensive documents and raising tickets with TIBCO support."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks needs to improve its digital IDs and data processing capabilities. It will benefit small and medium businesses."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a high price point."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"The price is comparable."
"It's a very expensive solution"
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."
"Its price policy has changed quite a lot in the last two years. It was extremely expensive previously. Nowadays, you can buy a license for BusinessWorks for €2000. Looking at what you get in return in terms of support, TIBCO community, and stability, it is fairly reasonable. It is not too expensive."
"I don't have the prices of the products, but I know that TIBCO is not a cheap solution. I think that this solution is more suitable for large companies because I don't think that small- or medium-sized companies would have the money for this solution. WSO2 has the community version for free, so many of the smaller companies can use it. I'm not sure what the prices are for support, though, so I suppose the support for WSO2 is not cheap either."
"The cost depends on the components required."
"The product is not cheap."
"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."
"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."
