Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Improved workflow collaboration and data flexibility enhance team efficiency, but performance and logout issues require attention
Regarding improvements or enhancements in TIBCO EBX, when it comes to 5.8 to 5.9, there was a really good feature added, which is the hyperlink. When you click on a table, you navigate to deeper tables. If there is a table with ten fields, those ten fields are taken from a second table and interrelated to a third table, you can keep clicking on each field and go deeper and deeper. To come each level above, there is a hyperlink created on the top. You just need to click on the hyperlink and keep navigating back, similar to certain websites. However, there were some drawbacks I noticed with the latest version 6, particularly in terms of performance, where in a few cases, the performance was impacted, necessitating work to get things sorted. Additionally, the logout from the application happened randomly or sometimes it wasn't logging out, which is a compliance issue since users expect to log out after a certain time. Version 6 introduced a strong filtration logic. All EBX versions have a separate section for filters that offer text search and advanced search options. In EBX 6, they enhanced the search feature deeply, including conjunctions and, or, else, allowing you to create your own logic for how you need the filter to work. They also introduced a top-level search feature, where you enter some text, and it searches the entire table. 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. We dropped the plan to switch to EBX 6 due to other technical limitations on our side. Those were a few pending items we had raised to them, and they were working on resolving them. From a usage point of view, those were the main concerns, but they introduced a good idea about the side panel. The pagination concept was introduced to navigate among different domains, and in the left panel, you have search capabilities and pagination functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its key capability is in data maintenance, as we can maintain all the organizational data in a single software and see all our information on a single screen."
"We have a lot of integrations, and it's very easy to create integrations. They have a lot of connectors."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bulk upload. We upload files in CSV or Excel format."
"Now that we run all the addresses through AddressDoctor, we know what is a deliverable address and what is not, and we see the suggestion list for the addresses which are not deliverable."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon has been the data marketplace."
"The most valuable features are that MDM has a very strong master merchant, and it's possible to model all kinds of domains in one solution."
"Informatica MDM helped us realize our goal of maintaining a distinct (golden) record in our database for better decision making and reporting purposes."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance. Everything can be built under one particular umbrella. If any issues come up, then there won't be any blame game saying that it could be an integration issue or an MDM hub issue because it's wholly owned by Informatica. That's the biggest advantage of Informatica MDM over that of any other tools that are available on the market."
"Great integration tool for complex integration environment - large range of adapters and connection software."
"The feature I appreciate most about TIBCO EBX is the UI, which is quite simple and user-friendly."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"The match and merge features are very good."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"EBX is a multi-domain product, which makes it easy to switch between domains like customer, agent, or vendor."
"The customizable data model feature of TIBCO EBX has helped in addressing the complex data requirements of our organization, as its customizability is not only limited to the UI functionality, but also provides extended functionality to use external APIs within the code on the data model level and workflow model level."
 

Cons

"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository. Business rules for the attributes that you have, keeping them in that central repository, and governance of them is something which Axon is lacking a bit. The Informatica Data Quality tool actually caters to that, so that's probably why they have not built that up in the Axon, but it is definitely something that can be built in to this product, as well."
"Right now, although they offer some templates, I would want more templates available to be imported."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel."
"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 are various areas for improvement in IDMC. Enhancements on the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial."
"I would like to see support for more data sources."
"By improving customer service integration solutions development implementation style."
"The initial setup is very, very difficult."
"The performance could be better; we're not 100% happy with it at this time."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"One aspect that could be improved in TIBCO EBX is the latency when compared with other tools. This drawback is dependent on the data volume that you have."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"Sometimes it is a little difficult to find an architect for certain developments. You kind of have to be like technicians to work with this product if you want to make some specific development."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"One aspect that could be improved in TIBCO EBX is the latency when compared with other tools. This drawback is dependent on the data volume that you have."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"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."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"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."
"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."
