Featured Reviews

Saikat Ghosh - PeerSpot reviewer
Match and merge functionality is still the best but cloud version needs more functionality
There are various areas for improvement in IDMC. Enhancements on basic data management functionality and the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial. Bulk data management features could be improved from the UI perspective to get to the level of the on prem versions of Informatica MDM. The tool needs to mature but missing small but important features, like restricted dynamic attributes functionality, data inheritance rules in master hierachies, identifiers not being passed in jobs is a drawback.
RA
Offers predefined rules and easy to migrate data with minimum customisation of rules
The customization of the data needs improvement. We need to build basic SQL queries rather than being able to do it within the tool. We need to be able to analyze the SQL queries and then rerun them based on customer usage. We should be able to tune the existing process by using simple SQL queries based on the customer's requirements. In future releases, I would like to see more features around Preload and postload reports. From the end-user point of view, it is not very feasible to read. I need to know how the data has been migrated. I need to know whether the complete data has been migrated, only the required data has been migrated, and how it was migrated. So the postload reports will give validation between the source data and the target source. It would give exact picture of the data migration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool does give a good ROI."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."
"We've used the solution for quite some time, so in our organization, the product is pretty mature."
"The solution's technical support is pretty good, especially since the turnaround time is good."
"The solution is applicable for both technical and business users."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"The major benefits of Syniti Data Quality stem from the productivity and flexibility it offers to users."
"Syniti has built-in 80% of the solution, and we only need to customize 20 to 25% of the features. It is easy to run and pre-load reports."
"The customer service and support is good."
"With Syniti Data Quality, you can integrate SAP and directly fix errors from Syniti Data Quality instead of logging into SAP and then fixing them."
 

Cons

"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository. Business rules for the attributes that you have, keeping them in that central repository, and governance of them is something which Axon is lacking a bit. The Informatica Data Quality tool actually caters to that, so that's probably why they have not built that up in the Axon, but it is definitely something that can be built in to this product, as well."
"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"The solution should improve its integration."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."
"The customization of the data needs improvement. We need to build basic SQL queries rather than being able to do it within the tool. We need to be able to analyze the SQL queries and then rerun them based on customer usage."
"It would be good if Syniti Data Quality could integrate more AI in the future."
"The loading mechanisms and administration processes, particularly in setting up connections and deploying the system, need improvement."
"In Syniti Data Quality, data extraction is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"So, there are plans for licensing. There are subscription-based and usage-based licenses. Also, there are licenses for exceptional analytics, etc. In short, there are different models of licensing for every enterprise."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"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."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"Informatica MDM is a costly solution because it comes as a bundle. They are also globally positioning themselves and are definitely working on very upgraded technologies. If someone wanted to do it on the cloud, they have a lot of flexibility because they upgrade themselves according to the current needs. It definitely comes with a lot of features and that's the reason why it's costly. The licensing cost should be approximately one million dollars. It's about four to five times that of other vendors."
"We got a 50% discount."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"The solution is expensive."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
