Architect at Evoke
A simple and lightweight college course automation system with third-party integrations
The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with the environment within an hour. First, take the latest from the git repository and check the git code to the monitor studio and a bar file, a deployable Bonita archive file. Then, take that process to the Bonita server, running at runtime on another server. Finally, deploy and enable it by selecting the proper organization.

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 user interface is easy to use."
"Development of forms and flows."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"Single and consistent view of Customer Data arising from a centralized data set with unique customer records."
"Now that we run all the addresses through AddressDoctor, we know what is a deliverable address and what is not, and we see the suggestion list for the addresses which are not deliverable."
"The product seems stable enough."
"Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good."
"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
"Regarding the features, the dashboards related to data quality profiling are the most powerful tool that we are using, and the integration between EDC and the data quality is very important."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"Mapping designer seems to be easier to use even when compared with PowerCenter which is a great improvement."
 

Cons

"There is a considerable learning curve."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"If you have to build an entire architecture, or when you compare from end-to-end, and multiple systems will be involved, then the performance of Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services needs improvement because connectivity issues in a complex system affect the performance."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends. The solution is good, but it definitely needs a lot of improvement and needs to speed up as per the market."
"I can't say the user interface is useless, but people don't use it because they find it cumbersome."
"We promote our code changes from a lower to a higher environment, which is highly complex when working with a multi-domain MDM like Informatica. This is the biggest obstacle for Informatica MDM, and I think they should change it because that's very time consuming."
"The setup is complex."
"The initial setup is complex. It isn't easy because it needs a separate server of its own."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"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."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"It's a costly solution"
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"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."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
