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.

Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated
Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.

Modular design, product-based MDM and easy to setup
Stibo is a great product if you want to utilize it in product-based MDM. Customer-base, they are still growing, but product-base is fine because every single time you have to create hierarchies in the product and not care about all the other stuff. But the major thing is the hierarchy, at which particular type that product is and what that product does, how it looks, what is the catalog, what are the relationships with other stuff. So, from that note, Stibo is great. Around 20 to 25 people were there when I was on a particular project. I knew around 20 to 25 people who knew Stibo MDM and were part of it.

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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bulk upload. We upload files in CSV or Excel format."
"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"Seeing the data in the mapping itself is really nice."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"It has flexibility in extending the data model."
"The tool does give a good ROI."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"The second feature I love is its modular design, where you can create a certain number of entities and create hierarchical entities."
"It's very user friendly, and we can do everything in one place."
"It's powerful and it's stable."
"The match engine is very good and the BPM solution is very good as well."
"Data profiling allows us to recognize values from our upstream applications. It helps us place limits on the creation of new data domains to organize the ecosystem. The golden record, crucial for downstream applications, ensures data integrity and consistency."
 

Cons

"As for improvement, the con is basically API integrations."
"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."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"We currently have issues with real-time integration."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"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."
"The configurations could be better. It is a bit confusing because we must develop two tools when building a data model in Informatica MDM. Even though Informatica MDM is a single tool, we have our hub console plus the provisioning tool within that. Whatever data model we are building in the hub console, we have to develop it in the provisioning tool again. It is double the work to create a data model. We are also using external calls or the Java custom plans functions. This can be both positive and negative. Since MDM as a client does not support any complex validation, we have to depend on the external call or a Java call. Every time we deployed, the entire solution was impacted if something went wrong."
"The analytics module can be improved. It is a self-service solution for creating new reports and submitting visions to bring more data to the CEO table."
"The customer service and support were a little adamant about giving workarounds rather than accepting that something was not working correctly."
"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI."
"The search feature for searching internal records could be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective."
"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"We got a 50% discount."
