MR
Solution Consultant at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
Provides documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities
If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right. We have a strategic approach for the customer. I was involved in almost 100 sessions where the customers were looking for a one-time process visualization or one-time process mining, not for a long-term association with this tool. The customer's requirements are more tactical than strategic. We had some challenges during this time frame as I was with iGrafx, and electricity costs rose in Germany. One customer stopped a large deal because they had to reduce every non-invested investment due to the electricity bill rising by 500% to 800%.

Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has helped our organization because instead of writing long documentation for the shop floor, flow charts make it more attractive for the staff to follow up on and carry out procedures."
"It has increased accountability by providing defined documentation ownership."
"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."
"The solution is very stable."
"The IDEF0 add-on solution truly integrates all the process maps through intelligent arrow name management."
"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."
"The solution's most beneficial feature is the 360 approach, where documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities are in one solution."
"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."
"I used IBM InfoSphere before but Informatica is much, much better; gold standard."
"It gives you accountability to centralize your data and have it available to different applications."
"The most valuable feature is data discovery; this is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"It's probably one of the leading lights in ETL."
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
 

Cons

"This is a tool that covers the low end (e.g. Visio) to high end (e.g. Aris), although it's much less user friendly."
"If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right."
"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."
"If the price of the solution was more competitive, it would have made things easier for our company to extend the usage."
"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a reseller in Mexico."
"The price could be more competitive."
"Improving the UI to be more business user-friendly would also be beneficial."
"Accessing data as a service is essential, especially for validations requiring external data services. This goes beyond basic syntactic checks, like ensuring an email address contains the @ symbol or .com domain. Instead, it's about advanced validation, such as verifying if an email address exists or if a phone number is valid."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The solution is not as stable as we'd like. We need to do a lot of work on the operational side because it crashes frequently, at least once a week."
"I would rate it a seven out of ten due to lack of inbuilt BAM and BRE features."
"The data discovery isn't that good yet for Salesforce. We have another tool that we use for this. It may be a problem because Salesforce on the cloud."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"Earlier, the licensing part was complex because there were so many modules and elements in the tool. Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has gone into how the product has priced and positioned its tools in the market."
"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
"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."
"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."
"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 solution is very expensive."
"Informatica is very expensive."
