Offers numerous prebuilt data quality plans that can be reused for various data cleansing tasks
We had many duplicates originating from different source systems. We were able to match and deduplicate a significant amount of data. Additionally, we could synchronize and write back the latest information to the systems that were out of sync, ensuring they had the most recent data. As a result, we could write back and update the source systems.

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.

Pros

"Works quickly to develop and deploy to production."
"Ibi Data Quality offers numerous prebuilt data quality plans that can be reused for various data cleansing tasks. Additionally, it provides a variety of prebuilt match and merge rules for performing master data management,"
"Axon does one interesting thing that I don't think other tools do as well. It lets you rate data and incorporates Informatica's data quality feature into it. There are little indications and graphics that show you how good the data quality is, and you can drill into it to see where potential issues lie."
"Informatica MDM has a defined data model we can customize with user and developer options."
"The scalability is very high."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"The solution is straightforward."
"We can see all our information on a single screen."
"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"There are a couple of valuable features. One is that it is very quick on the profiling. So, you get a very fast snapshot of the type of data that you're looking at from the profiling perspective. It can highlight anomalies in the data."
 

Cons

"Special integration support could be improved."
"Their data governance portal can be improved. It lacks data governance-related features. Also, PII and anomaly detection could be valuable use cases for ibi. Adding these features would be a great enhancement."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"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."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"The UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"Connectivity could be improved, it can be a little slow."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"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."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"So, there are plans for licensing. There are subscription-based and usage-based licenses. Also, there are licenses for exceptional analytics, etc. In short, there are different models of licensing for every enterprise."
"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"The product has a high price point."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
