The user interface is easy to use, and the product performs well, but the dashboard and the monitoring features are limited

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

"With Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"I like that Informatica MDM has robust matching technology. Informatica MDM is also porting the external Java applications for validations. I can consider that a must-have. It is also exposed to Rest API calls, and we can engage in real-time integrations with any third-party systems."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"I like the connectivity and richness of features for the technical team, the maturity of the product, and that it had a cloud version. There is Informatica Cloud, and it is part of the Informatica Cloud platform."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."
"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"The use case is embedding the data or the business glossary into the day-to-day workflow, for example, integrating it with Tableau so when people are looking at a Tableau report, they understand exactly what the data lineage is, where this data is coming from, and exactly what those business glossary terms mean so they can more accurately interpret and analyze the report."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"There were some features I thought were better on-premises, but it feels a catch-up game."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"In certain domains, I am looking for material-level match features that are not customizable. The current solution requires code-writing and tweaking, while other solutions offer material-level matches."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"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."
"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
