Provides good stability, but they should add a feature for enterprise architecture
We use BIC Platform for process design and workflow features The product is easy to use, and it has different roles. It is an online platform, so many users can simultaneously use it according to their assigned roles. The product’s most valuable feature is roles. So, we can assign different…

Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated
Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business."
"The product is easy to use."
"The central dictionary is a valuable feature."
"This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer."
"The product improves data quality."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded."
"It's a stable product without any bugs or glitches."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"The features for data quality, data cataloging, and UI are excellent."
"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly."
"It is a very stable solution. I rate its stability a ten out of ten...It is a scalable solution...Informatica Axon's technical support is good."
 

Cons

"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."
"The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems."
"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."
"As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling."
"The user interface of the product needs to be improved"
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"Although we are very satisfied with the design of the UI, executing tasks with it can be difficult."
"The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement."
"Its features for partitioning and optimization could be better."
"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Scalability-wise, it is an expensive product."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
