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

"One of the biggest plus points of the product stems from the fact that I have never seen any glitches in it."
"The solution's most beneficial feature is the 360 approach, where documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities are in one solution."
"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's a great product, but all the functionalities need to be exploited in order to get the full value of the investment."
"It is one of the top-tier solutions that are available."
"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."
"The solution's technical support is of good quality since they offer fast and seamless services."
"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."
"It's a stable product without any bugs or glitches."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"This solution is stable, and we haven't had any issues."
"Informatica MDM has helped our organization because we now work from a harmonized single record for customers and patients."
"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."
"Mapping designer seems to be easier to use even when compared with PowerCenter which is a great improvement."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"This is where I think MDM shines - with its strong fuzzy matching algorithm. This is the essence of Informatica MDM. Based on these results, I can write our match conditions and then perform the corresponding data management activities."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings."
"They can reduce the cost of the product and make it easily accessible for consultants."
"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."
"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."
"I used the single license product. The entire suite can manage complex organizations, linking it with ERP, but it is not so easy to link it to a new ERP."
"Visio is more user-friendly."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it."
"There are various areas for improvement in IDMC. Enhancements on the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"One area where Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve is in providing more accelerators for certain functionalities."
"Error analysis becomes difficult as finding the exact location of the error in the logs is challenging."
"An area for improvement would be that the pricing model is not very visible, which makes it hard to understand how much things will cost."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"The product has a high price point."
