Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.
Chetan Thote - PeerSpot reviewer
A good master data management solution that gives complete functionality control to the user, but lacks in community support resources
We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product. We would also like to see support added for the mobile MDM, so that the solution can be integrated with handheld and IOS devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"Informatica Persistent Data Masking can mask production data for different users, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information."
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."
"I think the integration feature is probably one of the key features in Informatica MDM...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The most valuable features are data quality, data integrate transformations, match-merge, and a few MDM solutions we build into data quality transformation."
"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."
"The data modeling is very good."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"The benefits I have seen from using TIBCO EBX are quite significant."
"The data quality is very good."
"The feature I appreciate most about TIBCO EBX is the UI, which is quite simple and user-friendly."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"It is easy to code, especially because it is coded in Java."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
 

Cons

"The product interface could be improved to be more intuitive."
"Informatica MDM has a complex user interface, which could be improved."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"Marketing could be improved, as EBX wasn't well-presented in Turkey."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues."
"The documentation needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
"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."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
