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.

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.

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."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The governance process was fully manual before, but Axon helped us configure those processes, giving us more visibility, transparency, and control over the data."
"The solution is stable."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"The solution has multiple valuable features for metadata collection"
"The solution is stable."
"It has flexibility in extending the data model."
"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."
"It's very user friendly, and we can do everything in one place."
"It's powerful and it's stable."
"The second feature I love is its modular design, where you can create a certain number of entities and create hierarchical entities."
 

Cons

"As for improvement, the con is basically API integrations."
"There's certainly room for improvement. One crucial area is generating detailed reports on file statuses. Presently, this is represented visually, often as graphs or charts. Such reporting could offer comprehensive insights into the areas that demand attention and further scrutiny."
"One area that could use improvement is the speed of the web interfaces. At present, they are very slow. I think it is essential that we are original and robust on-premises."
"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."
"Informatica's issue is the licensing. Right now, there are a lot of new gen MDMs that are offering a lot in a single licensing model."
"Metadata querying is right now not there in Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"In terms of cost effectiveness, Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is more than 20% costly compared to the industry."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"The search feature for searching internal records could be improved."
"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."
"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The customer service and support were a little adamant about giving workarounds rather than accepting that something was not working correctly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"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."
"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."
"The price is comparable."
"It's a very expensive solution"
"We got a 50% discount."
