The user interface is easy to understand, but its performance could be improved
I also work with IBM Sterling B2B Integrator. Unlike Axway AMPLIFY B2B Integration, IBM Sterling B2B Integrator doesn't have a UI-based platform to monitor all incoming and outgoing transactions. We use IBM Sterling B2B Integrator for everything, including transmission. We use Axway AMPLIFY B2B Integration only for transmission purposes. We use Axway AMPLIFY B2B Integration because it has a great user interface, which makes it very easy to monitor everything. IBM Sterling B2B Integrator is better than Axway AMPLIFY B2B Integration because it is a very robust solution. Unlike cloud-based systems, IBM Sterling B2B Integrator can handle very complex logic. It can easily process files with 5 GB to 10 GB sizes. Once you take the license, you won't have to pay anything extra for computing power.

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

"The automation of all the data transfers is great."
"Axway AMPLIFY B2B Integration has a great user interface that is easy to understand."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"I like that Informatica MDM has robust matching technology. Informatica MDM is also porting the external Java applications for validations. I can consider that a must-have. It is also exposed to Rest API calls, and we can engage in real-time integrations with any third-party systems."
"The scalability is very high."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"Axon has something called Overlay, which can be used to extend the technical lineage."
 

Cons

"The initial setup can be a bit tricky."
"The solution's performance could be improved and made similar to that of IBM Sterling B2B Integrator."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"Informatica's support understands the solution, but they lack the experience we need for our use case. That was one thing that we prioritized when we started searching for this kind of solution."
"The product interface could be improved to be more intuitive."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"It can be improved in terms of performance and execution. I'm expecting better performance. It currently has some restrictions in terms of execution. For example, if we want to run it in the command mode and execute it, there are some restrictions, and we are facing some issues with a huge volume of data. These restrictions are not there in Informatica PowerCenter because we are able to execute a huge volume of data, and there are more ways to execute it."
"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."
"Informatica Axon's response times and certain aspects of the admin panel could be enhanced for better usability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other SaaS platforms, the solution's pricing is less."
"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."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"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."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
