Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

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

"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"Customer service is absolutely brilliant and their on-demand support is really good speaking from a development team perspective."
"One of the most valuable features is that I don't need to buy a subscription for any functionality. With Informatica Cloud Data Management, I have all the functionality and features available. If I need to make an integration, I can go to that integration service. If I need to mask, provide, or clean some information, I can easily just pick up that feature and use it. It's very simple, and I have all the functions and capabilities I need to work with data."
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
"Replication allows us to fully replicate all objects from Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) to in-house/on-premises database in one job."
"The valuable features include ease of use and quick response time with Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services; the performance and response time are notably faster."
"The solution is very scalable, and if a company needs to expand it, it should not face any issues doing so."
"I recommend Informatica because anyone with a bit of knowledge, even a beginner or intern, can explore, learn, and accomplish development tasks without much difficulty."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Now EBX does everything for me."
"The best feature is that TIBCO EBX is customizable, allowing any feature that is not available out of the box to be designed by writing Java code, providing custom logic creation essential for users who need specific functionalities and making it best for handling data quality features while allowing integration with systems such as SAP for effective data management and offering scalability to handle varying amounts of data by adjusting instances to improve data processing capabilities."
"Great integration tool for complex integration environment - large range of adapters and connection software."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"What I find best about TIBCO EBX is its workflow modeling capabilities, which are very good for a master data management tool."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
 

Cons

"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"Informatica MDM has a complex user interface, which could be improved."
"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"The product is not too user-friendly to do the configurations."
"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"The user interface could be more user friendly with a simplified mapping task."
"Informatica's support understands the solution, but they lack the experience we need for our use case. That was one thing that we prioritized when we started searching for this kind of solution."
"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."
"Some optimization on the database and how it is handled would be beneficial."
"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."
"Marketing could be improved, as EBX wasn't well-presented in Turkey."
"With complex data models or when there are more records and association tables, the system experiences noticeable slowness in loading records."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"With a huge amount of data (multi-million rows in a table), the tool may slow down."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"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."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"It's an expensive 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."
"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."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
