We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the features compared to other tools. This tool is more flexible to use than other tools like an Oracle product or SAP product. I think IBM tools are more flexible, and this tool is also a good product.""Data masking features are the most valuable, as non-production environments are used by diverse parties and data privacy has to be guaranteed.""The platform's ability to generate metrics is the most valuable feature for data management. It is a user-friendly and easy-to-use tool."

"The solution's scalability is high.""One of the most valuable features is that I don't need to buy a subscription for any functionality. With Informatica Cloud Data Management, I have all the functionality and features available. If I need to make an integration, I can go to that integration service. If I need to mask, provide, or clean some information, I can easily just pick up that feature and use it. It's very simple, and I have all the functions and capabilities I need to work with data."

Cons
"I think it could be more secure. I don't have experience with the security aspects concerning PII data, but I think it can still be streamlined a little more. It could also have some more features, and the initial setup could be more straightforward.""I would like to be able to combine different masking functions on the same column map, making more complex masking without the need of writing an Lua procedure.""TDM's efficiency in terms of generating reports needs improvement. It could work faster."

"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used. Each customer purchases a certain amount of IPUs per month, but you can use more or less than that defined quantity. The only problem is if you don't use the all your IPUs, they don't carry over into the next month. I think customers should have the ability to transfer unused IPUs into the next month or year. This improvement could help give customers more flexibility, especially since cloud solutions need flexibility in how we use and pay for them.""Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."
