"The solution's scalability is high.""One of the most valuable features is that I don't need to buy a subscription for any functionality. With Informatica Cloud Data Management, I have all the functionality and features available. If I need to make an integration, I can go to that integration service. If I need to mask, provide, or clean some information, I can easily just pick up that feature and use it. It's very simple, and I have all the functions and capabilities I need to work with data."

Cons
"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself.""Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool.""The initial setup is complex.""The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle.""Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment.""While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."

"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used. Each customer purchases a certain amount of IPUs per month, but you can use more or less than that defined quantity. The only problem is if you don't use the all your IPUs, they don't carry over into the next month. I think customers should have the ability to transfer unused IPUs into the next month or year. This improvement could help give customers more flexibility, especially since cloud solutions need flexibility in how we use and pay for them.""Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Actifio was very stable. Whenever they identified bugs, they would promptly provide us with patches.
    Top Answer:I think licensing costs are reasonable but we have taxes here in Brazil that make hi-tech products more expensive.
    Top Answer:The area they could improve was when we were in Azure cloud, and Actifio got bought by Google, they stopped supporting us. So that's an area they could improve.
    Top Answer:The solution's cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to its on-premise version.
    Top Answer:I advise others to know their company's requirements before implementing the solution. I rate it an eight out of ten.
