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.

An MDM tool that offers stability, scalability, and an easy setup phase
Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX. It would be great to use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX. Right now, TIBCO EBX only supports Java, but I believe that it should support SQL queries on its interface. In short, certain areas in the UI area can be improved to support SQL queries.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"The solution is stable."
"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"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."
"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."
"The product improves data quality."
"It is very useful for testing purposes and designing mappings for small projects. If you go for IDQ in the mapping itself, you can see the data. You can then correct it, and test it so easily. It is working fine. It is also stable, scalable, and easy to deploy."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"The data quality is very good."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The data modeling is very good."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"One area where Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve is in providing more accelerators for certain functionalities."
"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"We got a 50% discount."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"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."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
