Process capabilities impress while user setup requires streamlining
I stopped using ADONIS because it is not capable of integrating and automating business processes for the POC. I see that Camunda is more capable for our POC project to orchestrate business processes. We also plan to integrate with UiPath because currently, we are focusing on task automations, not process orchestrations. In the future, we plan to implement process orchestrations. I see that Camunda can integrate UiPath into the process, process model, and process integrations. ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users.
Saikat Ghosh - PeerSpot reviewer
Match and merge functionality is still the best but cloud version needs more functionality
There are various areas for improvement in IDMC. Enhancements on basic data management functionality and the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial. Bulk data management features could be improved from the UI perspective to get to the level of the on prem versions of Informatica MDM. The tool needs to mature but missing small but important features, like restricted dynamic attributes functionality, data inheritance rules in master hierachies, identifiers not being passed in jobs is a drawback.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a very complete solution."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"We use parts and standardization for most of our testing. We purchase the US Postal Service address database, which is updated periodically. Many useful tools, such as Google Maps, can detect and mark new businesses or changes in business locations. Informatica captures and updates this information. Some periodic maintenance is involved, but setting it up is not overly complicated."
"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"Seeing the data in the mapping itself is really nice."
"The solution has the best feature for parameterization."
"It has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms. They're very robust."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I give the stability a ten out of ten."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
 

Cons

"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."
"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"Its features for partitioning and optimization could be better."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends. The solution is good, but it definitely needs a lot of improvement and needs to speed up as per the market."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"The product is very expensive"
"It's a costly solution"
"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."
