Executive SummaryUpdated on Aug 13, 2025

Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud and Ataccama ONE Platform compete in the data management and integration category. Informatica seems to have the upper hand due to its extensive features and enterprise-targeted offerings.

Features: Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud is known for its seamless connectivity to various sources and applications, AI capabilities for mapping development, and metadata management support. Ataccama ONE Platform offers robust data quality features, well-integration with data governance processes, and a straightforward user experience.

Room for Improvement: Informatica IDMC faces high transition costs from on-prem to cloud, usability challenges requiring technical knowledge, and needs enhanced application integration and performance for large data volumes. Ataccama ONE needs improvement in handling unstructured data, better documentation for new features, and enhanced integration with UNIX systems and governance workflows.

Enhanced data quality with machine learning support in diverse environments

We used Ataccama ONE to read data from the mainframe for a data quality perspective. There's a significant lack in that area with tools being able to interface with mainframe. MetLife has a diverse environment, including DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, legacy, and vSAN files. Being able to work in these various environments and put them to a single data quality tool was very appealing. Additionally, Ataccama supported AI and machine learning, which was one of the features I liked. Furthermore, we were able to interface bidirectionally with Collibra for data governance, catching data quality issues before propagating through the system.

Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes

One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of use of the user console is valuable."

"The product’s important feature is data profiling and quality check."

"Customer service was excellent, and I would give it a ten out of ten."

"The desktop version of the solution was particularly valuable to me, primarily for creating components. We opted for the data quality aspect to assess the quality of our data warehouse. The functionalities available allowed us to not only check data quality but also serve as an ETL tool. This versatility enabled data transformation and storage in various formats, including files on platforms like SharePoint or local online directories. The flexibility of the tool catered to the specific needs of those building components, contributing to our desired outcomes."

"It is also easy to deploy."

"The notable aspect lies in the workflow structure, where building the workflow aligns significantly with data governance."

"The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms."

"The drag-and-drop feature is incredibly flexible and straightforward."

"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance. Everything can be built under one particular umbrella. If any issues come up, then there won't be any blame game saying that it could be an integration issue or an MDM hub issue because it's wholly owned by Informatica. That's the biggest advantage of Informatica MDM over that of any other tools that are available on the market."

"The most valuable feature of Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog is it provides clients with a full view of the enterprise data assets. For example, how many data assets they have and who owns them."

"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."

"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."

"The solution's initial setup is quite straightforward."

"The technical support services are good."

"It allows the creation of identical tasks that can be applied across multiple tables, ranging from 100 to even 1,000 tables."

"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."

Cons

"Speaking specifically about the version we use, version 12.3, I'm unsure if this has been addressed in subsequent versions. One improvement I'd like to see pertains to the language used in certain components, especially in data quality checks. The language complexity posed a challenge for beginners. Although we had on-site assistance from Ataccama, making it manageable for us, some individuals found it difficult to comprehend, necessitating additional support. The provision of a comprehensive guide for on-premise installation can also be enhanced. The lack of detailed information on the solution's workings and the overwhelming nature of notifications, with extensive content, were areas of concern. Streamlining the notification content in newer versions would significantly expedite issue resolution."

"Although DQA can fetch data from most of the commonly used data sources, it has limited modifiers to get data, meaning that the number of technologies from which the data can be acquired is limited. For example, DQA does not support fetching data from Twitter or Facebook. Many competitors have this feature."

"There is a notable challenge in having to provide detailed filters before the site recognizes the search criteria."

"It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data."

"I believe it would be beneficial if it could enhance its flexibility to connect with a wider range of downstream systems beyond just Excel and Postgres."

"Data movement is a pain."

"They could focus more on marketing the product. The current marketing strategy is not working."

"The interfacing to tools such as Collibra was somewhat cumbersome and required more thought."

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."

"The user interface of the product needs to be improved"

"Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."

"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."

"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."

"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."

"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."

"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."

"Our licensing model wasn't user-specific; instead, we paid fees for the engine and maintenance. As we didn't have a support contract, maintenance fees were likely nonexistent. Regarding the upgrade, we had an account for the initial two or three years, and considering the features provided by the solution, the pricing was reasonable."

"Despite not being extremely low-cost, the pricing appears reasonable, making it a profitable and viable choice for companies that prioritize data security and adhere to specific policies."

"The product is reasonably priced."

"The product is highly-priced."

"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."

"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."

"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."

"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."

"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."

"It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."

"The price is neither too high nor too low."
