"The most valuable feature is the rule specification.""The most beneficial feature of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is it's cloud-based.""One of the most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is Master Data Management. You can write code to build your logic rules to check the quality.""Initial setup was fairly easy.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""We primarily used Cloud Data Profiling to connect with Cloud Data Governance, a tool also used by Teva. This integration allowed users to access data quality results within the data governance catalog.""The user-friendliness and performance of Informatica is quite impressive.""The profiling features are much better than the on-premise version."

Cons
"What could be improved or added to IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is more connectors. This solution comes in a package with IBM InfoSphere DataStage and is missing a lot of connectors to various, new data sources, so IBM needs to work on that area. Compared with competitors such as Informatica and Alation which acquired other small companies to work on the connectors, IBM has not done any testing and has tried to develop the connectors in-house, but that's taking a lot of time. As a result, my company is unable to connect to a lot of data sources, particularly modern data sources.""The solution is outdated and is not on cloud."

"If given the opportunity, I would like to address these concerns, particularly with regard to enhancing the end-user experience.""Informatica Cloud Data Quality could improve by adding more algorithms for matching and mastering. We currently only have five or six. Additionally, the parallelism in data is better in other solutions, such as IBM.""Logical views are a little bit behind in comparison to the on-premise version.""The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The integration with older technology and cloud quality needs improvement.""In the on-premises version, features like web service consumer and web service provider are available, but these functionalities are currently unavailable in the cloud edition.""I used to use this tool more but recently we have been using another tool that we feel is better because it handles spatial data. Informatica Cloud Data Quality could improve by adding the ability to handle spatial data.""Some capabilities from the cloud version are not included in the on-premises version."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "For the licensing cost of IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer, I have no information on the exact cost, but as it's bundled with other IBM products such as IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog and IBM InfoSphere DataStage, the bundle is expensive when compared to competitor pricing."
  • More IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We pay for a yearly subscription."
  • "The licensing costs attached to the solution are pretty high, but then, with the cloud model, the prices depend on what it provides for the value of money, which I feel was very high."
