Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"Server maintenance, server hosting, backup, restoration, and DB capabilities are not needed in the cloud."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
 

Cons

"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
"Informatica MDM could improve the interdependency with integration. The solution sometimes becomes a bit difficult to change considering a lot of interdependency with the integration. There can be some improvement in the workflows and they can introduce more artificial intelligence."
"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used. Each customer purchases a certain amount of IPUs per month, but you can use more or less than that defined quantity. The only problem is if you don't use the all your IPUs, they don't carry over into the next month. I think customers should have the ability to transfer unused IPUs into the next month or year. This improvement could help give customers more flexibility, especially since cloud solutions need flexibility in how we use and pay for them."
"Their data quality reporting, especially their dashboards and scorecards, is lackluster at best."
"The product isn't mature enough to provide suitable connectors to various data engines."
"One area where Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve is in providing more accelerators for certain functionalities."
"I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"The product interface could be improved to be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 price is comparable."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
