Integration with existing tools enhances data handling capabilities
DBM allows integration with SQL Server, which is beneficial for Microsoft. While we are only downloading at the moment, we have tested some uploads, and the performance seems better than Data Loader, though it is more complicated. Both products use recommended security protocols, and we don't worry about their security.
Saikat Ghosh - PeerSpot reviewer
Match and merge functionality is still the best but cloud version needs more functionality
There are various areas for improvement in IDMC. Enhancements on basic data management functionality and the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial. Bulk data management features could be improved from the UI perspective to get to the level of the on prem versions of Informatica MDM. The tool needs to mature but missing small but important features, like restricted dynamic attributes functionality, data inheritance rules in master hierachies, identifiers not being passed in jobs is a drawback.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their support is good, very responsive despite being overseas."
"DBM allows integration with SQL Server, which is beneficial for Microsoft."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
"It has all the advantages of the Cloud in that you can use it without worrying about infrastructure, upkeep, or upgrades."
"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"It is a scalable product."
"We use parts and standardization for most of our testing. We purchase the US Postal Service address database, which is updated periodically. Many useful tools, such as Google Maps, can detect and mark new businesses or changes in business locations. Informatica captures and updates this information. Some periodic maintenance is involved, but setting it up is not overly complicated."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"DBM is a bit more complicated when compared to DataLoader, especially for more complex operations."
"DBM is a bit more complicated when compared to DataLoader, especially for more complex operations."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"Informatica Axon does not provide complete transparency about the level of detailing you need and the logic used in ETL."
"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."
"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"The main issue preventing Brazilian companies from migrating to Informatica Cloud Data Integration from on-prem is the price."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
"Informatica MDM is a costly solution because it comes as a bundle. They are also globally positioning themselves and are definitely working on very upgraded technologies. If someone wanted to do it on the cloud, they have a lot of flexibility because they upgrade themselves according to the current needs. It definitely comes with a lot of features and that's the reason why it's costly. The licensing cost should be approximately one million dollars. It's about four to five times that of other vendors."
"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."
"It's an expensive solution."
"We got a 50% discount."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
