Stable, scalable, and easy initial setup
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is the rule specification."
- "The integration with older technology and cloud quality needs improvement."
What is our primary use case?
We are working with our clients to help them build a data governance product for their enterprise data warehouse. By using Informatic EDC, Informatica Axon, and Informatica Data Quality, they can ensure the quality of their data governance.
Here, we are sharing the data with the consumers. We are using automated tools via Axon to ensure that the quality of data is good and that it is trustworthy. The average threshold for good-quality data is above 85 percent, so we have set a conformance threshold. Data quality is important when scanning data in Axon. We can determine the quality of the data and, if necessary, reach out to the data storage to correct it. Cloud data quality is important in this process because it can correct or reference data.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the rule specification. This is where we can define the rules and have our clients verify our transformation. The rule specification is a major transformation used in cloud data quality and especially in rule specification, we can create the business logic. If our business case or our use case deals with any kind of address verification, then we can go with address verification transformation as well.
What needs improvement?
With the on-premises version, we had many abilities to connect with any kind of server. But when it comes to cloud data quality, there are certain limitations to connecting. For example, we may be using an AS400. There are scenarios where some clients are still using old technology, such as the mainframe. However, for data quality, they mainly deal with the latest tools, such as Snowflake, the cloud database, Azure, Google, and AWS. Informatica has not considered the old version of the software for SaaS applications. The integration with older technology and cloud quality needs improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable. We just need to add more licenses.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is good.
How was the initial setup?
Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a cloud service. All we need is to have a secured agent installed in our local machine or in the VM. Once that is done we get a license and when we have a run time, everything is easy. Since this is a cloud service, we don't need to worry about maintenance. But there are some hurdles in data quality, such as if any one of the services goes down due to reports of our database being full, and there are multiple conditions. So there are pros and cons when compared to on-premises and cloud, And for maintenance, the cloud data quality is the best fit when compared to on-premises. The initial setup is simple.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We pay for a yearly subscription.
What other advice do I have?
I give the solution a nine out of ten. I've been working with Informatica solutions for the last decade. I have worked on other ETL tools as well. But always, Informatica stays close to my heart.
I've been closely working with Informatica's salespeople across the Asia Pacific. Right now, Informatica is pushing all the cloud products to the customers, not the on-premises. Informatica has everything in the cloud except data privacy management. They have canceled or they have stopped the data privacy management of on-premises itself. Right now, Informatica has end-to-end solutions in the cloud. They have all the services starting from data integration, and they have application integration. If it is a web-based application integration, We have CAI cloud application integration. Informatica has a data catalog, data quality, and master data management. They have everything in the cloud. Right now, all the clients are pushing only cloud products to their customers.
Depending on an organization's business requirements and budget, I can recommend Informatica Cloud Data Quality.
