Offers good dashboards and reports but fails to offer better migration features

The migration is a bit difficult in the tool. Whenever we make certain changes to workflow or other stuff, migrating the code from one environment to another is a bit tedious. The tool has an option for export and import, which is not robust. Most of the time, we need to do things stuff manually. For example, if we make any changes in the existing life cycle or any queues, we have to move those changes manually. There is no robust way to migrate code from one environment to a lower environment, like prod. When it comes to the product's technical support, the turnaround time is a bit longer than expected. The issue may be because there are a number of issues or a large number of customers who are reaching out to the support team for help. I believe that the solution's technical team can provide a solution more quickly.

Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes

One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its most valuable aspect is its flexibility"

"Hyland OnBase is valued for its security, especially for those in the finance domain who require data confidentiality."

"Integrating Hyland OnBase with our systems enabled us to automate document designs and templates, which was extremely helpful in the finance and banking industry."

"We found the setup process to be okay since they do offer a troubleshooting guide."

"It provided data security features, allowing restrictions on sensitive documents, such as who could view or modify them."

"OnBase is a remarkable tool. It is a well-done product. Hyland has a lot of experience in building it and looking for new things for clients in terms of functionalities. It has amazing stability, and it can grow horizontally and vertically. It is built for growth. Their technical support is also quite good and available throughout the year."

"The most valuable features are that it's very secure and provides audit trails for our documents."

"The solution's most valuable features are integration and flexibility."

More Hyland OnBase pros

"The solution offers good data governance."

"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."

"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."

"I think the integration feature is probably one of the key features in Informatica MDM...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."

"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."

"The features that I have found most valuable are, first of all, that it comes as part of this whole bundle of Informatica tools. So if you've been implementing Informatica MDM across a business, you'd often find it comes with it. It's been thrown in as a sweetener. The adoption of it is often the challenge because as part of your MDM project, governance is seen as something beyond the MDM and is often restrictive. So this tool actually, for the first time, when you talk to data governance teams, gives a holistic view of what a data governance team can do with this tool."

"I like the connectivity and richness of features for the technical team, the maturity of the product, and that it had a cloud version. There is Informatica Cloud, and it is part of the Informatica Cloud platform."

Cons

"The look and feel could be better. The integration with the user could be better. It could also be more user-friendly."

"I find OnBase's monolithic architecture to be expensive, and adopting microservices could be beneficial."

"The dashboards do have some room for improvement as compared to the other vendors which are there in the market."

"Software malfunctioning usually occurs when we receive documents from external sources."

"We found the size of images to be a restriction, though this may have been due to the API used rather than the Hyland application."

"The application could potentially be more open-source, allowing integration with more solutions."

"We need to troubleshoot why our reports didn't get downloaded in a day. There is a workflow feature which powerful but also complicated."

"The migration is a bit difficult in the tool."

More Hyland OnBase cons

"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."

"The tool could be improved in terms of ease of use, particularly for those without technical expertise. Understanding and extracting data from the table-based structure requires some SQL knowledge and technical skills. Additionally, while Informatica MDM has moved towards a cloud-based MDM with a UI similar to Reltio, I haven't used it, so I can't comment on its effectiveness."

"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."

"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."

"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."

"Metadata querying is right now not there in Informatica Cloud Data Integration."

"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."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a two out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are a number of different types of licenses. There are concurrent licenses, individual licenses and imaging licenses."

"The tool's price is high."

"The solution costs around $6,000 per month."

"OnBase is reasonably priced."

"They can do better in terms of the pricing model. It is a really expensive tool in Latin America. They should have different prices for different regions."

"It's a costly solution"

"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 a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."

"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."

"The product has a high price point."

"We got a 50% discount."

"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."

"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."
