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%.

Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The IDEF0 add-on solution truly integrates all the process maps through intelligent arrow name management."
"It's a great product, but all the functionalities need to be exploited in order to get the full value of the investment."
"Provides a valuable BPMN feature."
"It is one of the top-tier solutions that are available."
"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."
"It has increased accountability by providing defined documentation ownership."
"It is very easy to use for describing processes and is very useful in the simulation of the process putting parameters and the metrics process."
"Simulation is most valuable."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"This product really improves my organization and fits all of the needed requirements for working with cleansed data."
"It is very useful for testing purposes and designing mappings for small projects."
"The valuable feature is metadata management. If you want to trace sensitive data, you can auto-classify them. You can search for sensitive information through EDC. Using Discovery, you can identify if there is any type of data set."
"The match and merge functionality is invaluable for discovering golden master data records."
"I do a quite a lot of data transformations, and the fact that I can do them without changing any of my SQL queries from the code, using the inbuilt tools, is very helpful."
"The solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet."
"One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities."
"They can reduce the cost of the product and make it easily accessible for consultants."
"If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right."
"The price could be more competitive."
"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a reseller in Mexico."
"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."
"This service could be more cost-effective."
"The company that I moved out of was going to be switching off Informatica at some point due to licensing, et cetera, and they just chose to go to StreamSets with Snowflake for storage."
"The product is not too user-friendly to do the configurations."
"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."
"Informatica Axon needs to improve its interface."
"In general, it is good. We used to face some Java application problems, approximately two issues a month."
"They need more feature flexibility, as it is not fully developed."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
"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."
"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."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"The product is very expensive"
"It's an expensive solution."
"We got a 50% discount."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
