Early testing has provided real-time security insights but still needs stronger AI analytics
Adaptive Data Security Platform is rated seven out of ten. A seven rating was chosen for Adaptive Data Security Platform because it seems promising for the use cases, but it has not been used enough to know all the features. The advice to others looking into using Adaptive Data Security Platform is to test it out in a sandbox to make sure it meets their use case. The company does not have a business relationship with the vendor of Adaptive Data Security Platform other than being a customer. An incentive was offered for this review of Adaptive Data Security Platform. There are no additional thoughts about Adaptive Data Security Platform at this time.

Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features Adaptive Data Security Platform offers include real-time monitoring and AI-driven capabilities, which stand out."
"The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"The governance process was fully manual before, but Axon helped us configure those processes, giving us more visibility, transparency, and control over the data."
"I think the most valuable part of Informatica is the flexibility in extending the data model."
"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."
"Most of our customers were using excel and email-based communication for data access, and these new-age solutions improve efficiency ten times or more."
"The setup was very straightforward; once the agent is installed, you can then be up and running."
"We have received a return on investment using Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"This solution is stable, and we haven't had any issues."
 

Cons

"A return on investment has not yet been seen with Adaptive Data Security Platform because it is unclear if it will even be used; it is still a very early phase."
"There were a few stability issues, but overall it is a stable product."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"One thing to consider is that while Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services already integrates with AI platforms, we need to use these tools rigorously and check all these aspects, including machine learning and analytics. I feel that more work needs to be done on this aspect."
"One area where Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve is in providing more accelerators for certain functionalities."
"The price modeling could be more flexible."
"The data discovery isn't that good yet for Salesforce."
"I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required."
"There are various areas for improvement in IDMC. Enhancements on the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial."
