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."
"Axon has something called Overlay, which can be used to extend the technical lineage."
"We can see all our information on a single screen."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"The features for data quality, data cataloging, and UI are excellent."
"One of the most valuable features is that I don't need to buy a subscription for any functionality. With Informatica Cloud Data Management, I have all the functionality and features available. If I need to make an integration, I can go to that integration service. If I need to mask, provide, or clean some information, I can easily just pick up that feature and use it. It's very simple, and I have all the functions and capabilities I need to work with data."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"It is easy to create REST-based interfaces of the master data objects."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in its user interface, especially in simplifying navigation across different features."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"I would like to see better visuals for business users, such as a dashboard where they can precisely track where problems are."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's pricing is generally competitive."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
