Easy to use, reliable, and simple to expand
We have used the same version for two years, however, now there's a new version, which solves a lot of problems. The solution we use that's from two years ago, has the ARIS Connect Server, the web application, and the ARIS client application. Some things you have to do in the clients, and you can't do them in the web environment. In the new version, though it's not installed by us, it's changed. You can do this. You can do almost everything in the web client. The difficulty that you have with switching between the two environments is solved in the new version. However, I haven't tested it yet. That said, that was one of the issues we had. It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version.
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

"Using this solution we can design our own processor governance, assign some specific technical services, and also run tests of the process to make sure it operates as we need it to."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"Ability to use all the features that your catalog has inside the modeling and export it to a BPM augmentation engine."
"They offer a variety of documentation, user manuals, and community forums for users to seek assistance and share experiences."
"I have rated the stability a ten out of ten due to a high level of satisfaction."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"The feature of auto-onboarding of the assets, enterprise assets via EDC is good."
"Informatica MDM has a defined data model we can customize with user and developer options."
"The solution's scalability is high."
"It is one of the best tools available for data integration."
"I am impressed by the solution's interface."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
 

Cons

"The solution uses a coding language for process design that is specific only to this product. We would like to see this changed to something more universal."
"It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version."
"There is a lot of complexity around licensing."
"I recognize the product has areas for potential improvement similar to every tool."
"There is room for improvement in the Data Marketplace aspect."
"It could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"Metadata querying is right now not there in Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"Its pricing model can be improved. The response time from technical support can also be improved."
"Informatica MDM could improve the interdependency with integration. The solution sometimes becomes a bit difficult to change considering a lot of interdependency with the integration. There can be some improvement in the workflows and they can introduce more artificial intelligence."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a two out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"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."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
