Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It fulfills the USPS requirements for mailings​."
"Postal sorting to the best and lowest postal rates."
"This software is a must have for my company offerings."
"We have matured as an organization with regards to better quality management, and we have evolved over time."
"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good."
"The Informatica MDM tool provided a very robust and cost effective solution to implement a single view of physicians."
"Informatica Persistent Data Masking can mask production data for different users, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information."
"It has good processes and governance."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"The connectivity and their whole suite are valuable features because whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform and there's no need to test different cloud vendors and then integrate with one solution since Informatica is a one-stop shop."
 

Cons

"​I use another program for deduping files. I am not comfortable with the way BCC deduping runs when deduping by full name and address.​"
"One area where Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve is in providing more accelerators for certain functionalities."
"I have a lot of issues with their customer support and not getting the required technical information, which we actually need unless you can do a call with their senior technicians."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals."
"Most of the new features added by Informatica are through Elastic Mapping. It would be helpful to have features like multithreading or partitioning for Salesforce to enhance performance."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"The product interface could be improved to be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"The product is very expensive"
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
