We get stability, scalability, and security
Axway provides good documentation that newcomers can easily follow, but I believe the initial setup would be tough for someone new. Experienced employees know where everything is and how to do their job, so it would be difficult for a new hire to get up to speed. For an experienced person, I give the initial setup a ten out of ten. Deployment can be considered a hundred lines of code and some a thousand lines. For a simple deployment, it takes 10-15 seconds. And if the environment connectivity is good enough to respond and there is some heavy code that is being deployed, it takes around 30-60 seconds max, if we are referring to the cloud, where the connectivity for the long duration of the calls is there. The total deployment time is one minute to finish up. From the industrial point of view, Europe has a major chunk of users followed by, the US, and then Australia or the Asia-Pacific region.

Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated
Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."

"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."
"This platform can be highly scalable."

"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"The match and merge functionality is invaluable for discovering golden master data records."
"Data synchronization tasks."
"The data quality component is very good."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."

"It's a stable product without any bugs or glitches."

Cons

"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."

"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"The UI is terrible and not user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"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."
