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."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"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 metadata management of Informatica is great."
"I do a quite a lot of data transformations, and the fact that I can do them without changing any of my SQL queries from the code, using the inbuilt tools, is very helpful."
"Informatica is user-friendly, stable, and scalable. These three aspects are the most valuable for us. If we can make it work well with the CRM, we can continue or try again this year to complete that part of the project. I am confident that this kind of solution is what we need because we have a third-party resource that works in the development."
"The user interface is flexible and the visibility of the data flow is amazing."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"We can scan anything."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in its user interface, especially in simplifying navigation across different features."
"Informatica Axon does not provide complete transparency about the level of detailing you need and the logic used in ETL."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"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."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"The UI is extremely complex"
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's pricing is generally competitive."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"So, there are plans for licensing. There are subscription-based and usage-based licenses. Also, there are licenses for exceptional analytics, etc. In short, there are different models of licensing for every enterprise."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"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's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
