Efficient management of multi-domain masters but API integrations could be improved
As for improvement, the con is basically API integrations. I would like to have some improved API integrations in the future release. Moreover, there is room for improvement in the setup process. The company should move the deployment to the cloud and make it a ready setup. In the market, many of the players, like Trento, Semarchy, and MDM software which are on the cloud, are ready to use. All the installation is pre-defined so that the installation cost is not to be added by the client every time. So, deployment and installation are specific to the service partner only. A client cannot do it by themselves.
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

"Efficient management of multi-domain masters, product suppliers, and locations."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) a 10 out of 10."
"The features for data quality, data cataloging, and UI are excellent."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bulk upload. We upload files in CSV or Excel format."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"I like the number of options that are presented with Informatica, fuzzy matching, and your screen."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"The solution provides increased efficiency while still being user-friendly and easy to operate."
"The solution's scalability is high."
 

Cons

"As for improvement, the con is basically API integrations."
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals."
"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions."
"There is room for improvement at the highest level in terms of useability and connectors for various types of new applications. The row processing performance could be better because you experience some latency dealing with high volumes of data. Most organizations will be dealing with multiple cloud applications, so you could see performance issues moving from one system to another."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"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."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"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 have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"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 MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
