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 most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"I have rated the stability a ten out of ten due to a high level of satisfaction."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"We use parts and standardization for most of our testing. We purchase the US Postal Service address database, which is updated periodically. Many useful tools, such as Google Maps, can detect and mark new businesses or changes in business locations. Informatica captures and updates this information. Some periodic maintenance is involved, but setting it up is not overly complicated."
"The valuable feature is that we can automate the integration part...It is a stable solution."
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in its user interface, especially in simplifying navigation across different features."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."
"The integration with other data management tools can be enhanced. For instance, there is no integration with tools like Collibra or Hubview."
"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"The initial setup was not very straightforward. Not complex, but not very simple either."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."
"The main issue preventing Brazilian companies from migrating to Informatica Cloud Data Integration from on-prem is the price."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's pricing is generally competitive."
"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."
"The product is highly-priced."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
"Informatica MDM is a costly solution because it comes as a bundle. They are also globally positioning themselves and are definitely working on very upgraded technologies. If someone wanted to do it on the cloud, they have a lot of flexibility because they upgrade themselves according to the current needs. It definitely comes with a lot of features and that's the reason why it's costly. The licensing cost should be approximately one million dollars. It's about four to five times that of other vendors."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"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."
"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"It's a costly solution"
