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.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs

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. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."

"New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded."

"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 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."

"I have rated the stability a ten out of ten due to a high level of satisfaction."

"The solution is stable."

"The solution's initial setup is quite straightforward."

"It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"The learning curve for this solution is very good."

"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."

"The stability is excellent."

"The installation process is easy."

"The customer service executives are very responsive."

"It was mostly easy to set up the product."

"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."

"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."

Cons

"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."

"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."

"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."

"The tool could be improved in terms of ease of use, particularly for those without technical expertise. Understanding and extracting data from the table-based structure requires some SQL knowledge and technical skills. Additionally, while Informatica MDM has moved towards a cloud-based MDM with a UI similar to Reltio, I haven't used it, so I can't comment on its effectiveness."

"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."

"We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer."

"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."

"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."

"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."

"They should release upgrades more frequently."

"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."

"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."

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."

"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."

"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."

"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."

"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."

"The product is highly-priced."

"It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."

"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pricing and cost advice

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."

"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."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
