Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.
Rene Dorantes - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable, stable, and offers good technical support
SAP Data Quality Management would be better if it directly integrates with the ME system. Right now, the company has a lot of machines on the shop floor working as a standalone, so you have to use all methods to ensure that the data interface appears on the ME system and that SAP Data Quality Management records the QM results. It would be much easier if the ME system could be integrated directly with SAP Data Quality Management. What I'd like to see from SAP Data Quality Management in the future is the integration of machines on the shop floor or a feature that connects shop floor devices. I'd also like a custom dashboard in the solution, though I wonder if that's available in the new version. The old version my company uses doesn't have that. Another feature I want in the next release of SAP Data Quality Management is better communication between the ME and the SAP systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has flexibility in extending the data model."
"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
"The valuable feature is that we can automate the integration part...It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features are data quality, data integrate transformations, match-merge, and a few MDM solutions we build into data quality transformation."
"The product is scalable and excellent for enterprise-level organizations."
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance. Everything can be built under one particular umbrella. If any issues come up, then there won't be any blame game saying that it could be an integration issue or an MDM hub issue because it's wholly owned by Informatica. That's the biggest advantage of Informatica MDM over that of any other tools that are available on the market."
"We work with API standards or norms for internal applications, so it's essential for SSE to have tests and pass those tests according to the criteria, which makes SAP Data Quality Management very important for our products."
"Scalability is good."
"Our primary use case is for us to inspect the results from the product and material, and for releasing or leaving the status of the product."
 

Cons

"Connectivity could be improved, it can be a little slow."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."
"The only thing that I can imagine that might be improved is how the available transactions verify addresses used. These transactions have a valid end date and must be used within the agreed timeframe."
"Informatica's support understands the solution, but they lack the experience we need for our use case. That was one thing that we prioritized when we started searching for this kind of solution."
"The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep."
"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"There are some limitations. They are not covering complete scenarios for all the modules."
"I would like for them to develop a feature to able to record all of our inspections; so all the data can go through SAP. It's not user-friendly or easy to get further analysis, so we mostly skip this step."
"SAP Data Quality Management would be better if it directly integrates with the ME system. Right now, the company has a lot of machines on the shop floor working as a standalone, so you have to use all methods to ensure that the data interface appears on the ME system and that SAP Data Quality Management records the QM results. It would be much easier if the ME system could be integrated directly with SAP Data Quality Management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
"The price is comparable."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"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."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
