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 ability to aggregate and put together data from around fifty sources into one environment allows us to have a preview of everything in a single place, which is something we did not have previously in our company."
"The solution is applicable for both technical and business users."
"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"The feature that allows me to search across the entire organizational database and then look through what objects are in which tables and which locations is quite handy."
"The solution is easier to use compared to the other solutions."
"The solution's most valuable features are its data quality, match-merge engine, and CLAIRE AI engine, which helps with AI automation."
"The product is scalable and excellent for enterprise-level organizations."
"The ability to clean out data and improve the data quality is the best feature."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in its user interface, especially in simplifying navigation across different features."
"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
"One area that needs to improve is the user experience because it is very complex. The trial version is very complex so it's not easy to start using the program immediately. You must study the rules first."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's pricing is generally competitive."
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"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 an expensive solution."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
