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

"Informatica MDM's most valuable feature is the interconnection between multiple Master Data domains."
"The product is stable."
"I have rated the stability a ten out of ten due to a high level of satisfaction."
"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 Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"It gives you accountability to centralize your data and have it available to different applications."
"Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good."
"The data quality is very good."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX saves a lot of time and gives considerable flexibility to business users who might not be completely technical but can work on it in specific areas."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"The data modeling is very good."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"It is easy to code, especially because it is coded in Java."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
 

Cons

"I remember when I used it, there was some limitation in one of the data quality dimensions. I was not able to perform certain tasks on the cloud version, even though I could do them on the data center version."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals."
"The product interface could be improved to be more intuitive."
"I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"Connectivity could be improved, it can be a little slow."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"The integration with older technology and cloud quality needs improvement."
"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."
"With complex data models or when there are more records and association tables, the system experiences noticeable slowness in loading records."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"We observe performance issues lately. If we perform any bulk update or use the bulk functionality to update the data, during that time, the index rebuild happens in the back end. The operations team faces issues, including downtime or slowness, and we monitor it, performing any required actions such as restarting applications."
"Marketing could be improved, as EBX wasn't well-presented in Turkey."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is comparable."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"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."
"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."
