Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) Reviews

We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization.

We have implemented both data profiling and data quality transformations for data validation. These are the two major components we rely on, with data profiling helping us understand the data's characteristics, and data quality transformations ensuring data validation.

Exploring the possibility of incorporating AI capabilities that can suggest additional rules would significantly streamline our data analysis process following data profiling. Many other tools offer this feature, enabling them to suggest rules, which can be generated with just one or two clicks.

I have been working with it for almost seven years.

Once it was implemented, we din not encounter any stability issues. I would rate it nine out of ten.

The scalability of the solution depends heavily on the design approach. Regardless of the tool used, the effectiveness of the data quality framework hinges on proper design. If the framework is not well-designed, it may not deliver the desired results. I would rate it eight out of ten.

We receive excellent support on a priority basis. I would rate it nine out of ten.

Positive

I would rate the installation and configuration process as moderately complex.

If it has been implemented effectively, I would say it is the best solution. When considering the use of the data governance package, combining Axon ADC and Informatica Data Quality together provides a comprehensive approach. I would rate it eight out of ten.

We use the solution for mass data management. 

The tool's most valuable feature is bulk upload. We upload files in CSV or Excel format. 

Informatica Axon needs to improve its interface. 

I have been working with the solution for three years. 

Informatica Axon's support is good.

Overall, I rate Informatica Axon a seven out of ten.

Axon is a tool for data governance that lets you define personas of people who can define policy and implement those policies and have a check on them. So it's part of a data governance solution.

It is a very good tool. So there is Informatica Axon, Informatica EDC, and Informatica Data Quality, which are the best solutions in the market for data governance. Many customers prefer the solution.

All the functionalities of the solution that are currently available on the on-prem version should be made available on the cloud. The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version. So, Informatica is working on it, and it may take some time. In short, adopting the functionalities of the solution's on-prem version could be faster in the cloud.

I work with an SI company, and my company is also a cyber-security value-added distributor. I have been selling Informatica products, including Axon, for years.

It is a very stable solution. I rate its stability a ten out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. I have six to seven customers using the solution.

Informatica Axon's technical support is good. So, like all the US companies, the support ticket moves from one support team to another.

The initial setup process depends on the complexity of the customers' requirements. So, it can be simple or complex. Usually, data governance projects are a minimum of six to eight months.

Regarding the deployment process, the first step is to conduct a discovery session to understand the customers' problems. This involves identifying the stakeholders involved in the data governance process, determining who owns the data, and identifying the layers of governance that need to be implemented at various levels, including the persona and solution levels.

Two to three people, including a data analyst, a data engineer, and a data quality or data assurance person, are required to deploy and maintain the solution.

A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap.

It's a very good solution. And for any customer embarking on our data governance journey, Axon is the right tool to choose, along with ECD and Data Quality. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.

Our organization operates in the financial industry and we utilize the solution to gather and incorporate high-quality data, making it available in the data marketplace.

We are satisfied with the entire solution in its current state and eagerly anticipate its transition to cloud technology.

The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available. Additionally, there is no alert mechanism in place for the existing IDQ that can be integrated with email alerts.

I have been using the solution for over ten years.

I give the stability a ten out of ten.

I give the scalability an eight out of ten.

The technical support responds quickly.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. I give the setup a nine out of ten. The deployment took around one and a half hours and two administrators.

The implementation is completed in-house.

I give the solution a ten out of ten.

We have a two-person admin team that takes care of the maintenance.

I would recommend Informatica Data Quality as it has been consistently identified by Gartner as one of the leading solutions in the market.

We use the solution for Salesforce data integration, multi-cloud approaches and processing bottlenecks. We deploy the solution in a hybrid format.

The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable, as all tools come with the solution and do not require additional license purchases.

Although the solution seems complete currently, it could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue.

We have been using the solution for a year and a half and are currently using the latest version.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is scalable.

The initial setup is straightforward. It takes a couple of days, but for migration, if you have to move over the code from one tool to another, it takes a lot of time.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The solution is good but can be improved by a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue. I recommend the solution because it has existed for a long time, and a lot of people already understand the tool. Additionally, the learning curve is effortless compared to the other tools.

The product is used for data governance. It's a tool for data governance, a technical metadata dictionary, and a data lineage repository.

So far, we have been pleased with its capabilities. 

It has a wide coverage of technologies. 

The solution scales well.

It is stable and reliable. 

The technical support has been helpful.

The initial setup is very, very difficult. 

The solution is quite expensive. 

I would like them to extend the coverage to other technologies like web services and programming languages.

I've been using the solution for six months. 

It is stable, and it is reliable. The performance is good. We haven't dealt with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

We can scale the product.

We have about 50 users on the solution right now. It's not used too extensively just yet. It will be in the future, however. We do also have plans to increase usage. 

We've used technical support previously and found them to be quite good. We are satisfied with the level of support we can get. 

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution. 

The initial setup is not straightforward. We found it to be quite difficult. It took us about two weeks to deploy it.

We have ten people that can handle deployment and maintenance tasks, including a team leader and project manager. 

The implementation can be done in-house with a lot of effort.

I'm not sure of the exact cost, however, the range is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's very expensive. 

I'm not an experienced user of it. I used it in workshops, and I use other Informatica products, so I have some relevant knowledge.

I deal with the latest version of the solution. 

I'd rate the product nine out of ten and can recommend it to others to use.
