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.

Consolidated, reliable, and has responsive technical support
There is a minor need to improve the ease of configuration. The configuration of the product is not an easy task for everyone. I agree that it has to be that way, as it's a good technology, however, maybe for people with low experience it can be hard. There can be a higher learning curve. The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution. I'd like to see the possibility of configuring the product via consoles with more elasticity without having the need to go to the single files in the file system, add the files manually, and then restarting. We'd like to make some changes, some tuning of the product, using the administration console. If this is extended to the console, it would be great. We need more operations done by the console. It simplifies the life of the worker.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"The solution has multiple valuable features for metadata collection"
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"We've used the solution for quite some time, so in our organization, the product is pretty mature."
"The installation process is easy."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
 

Cons

"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."
"Informatica's issue is the licensing. Right now, there are a lot of new gen MDMs that are offering a lot in a single licensing model."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It's a costly solution"
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"The product is highly-priced."
"The product has a high price point."
"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
