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 product's most valuable features are its real-time messaging and collaboration tools."
"​The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them."
"Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good."
"It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status."
"The user interface is flexible and the visibility of the data flow is amazing."
"The solution has multiple valuable features for metadata collection"
"I like the connectivity and richness of features for the technical team, the maturity of the product, and that it had a cloud version. There is Informatica Cloud, and it is part of the Informatica Cloud platform."
"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in its user interface, especially in simplifying navigation across different features."
"The user interface of the product needs to be improved"
"The UI is extremely complex"
"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."
"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."
"The biggest pain point for us is the documentation. Typically, you have to go through knowledge forums and knowledge groups to find out about the syntax issues for interfacing with new products. Typically, you've got to deal with someone who has been through the pain before. Their documents are not really up to date with current innovations happening in the industry. As big as they are, you can't really expect it, but that's our pain point."
"They could provide more robust performance for data integration processes. It would help in improving the data quality more efficiently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's pricing is generally competitive."
"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."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half 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."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
