Features: Informatica IDMC offers comprehensive MDM, data quality, and data integration with flexible architecture and support for multiple domains. It is praised for data cleansing and address validation capabilities and provides robust reporting tools. SnapLogic is known for its fast deployment, ease of use, and valuable big data integration, offering a low-code development environment for business users.

Room for Improvement: Informatica IDMC could enhance its SAP integration, provide more preconfigured business rules, and improve its UI in data stewardship and reporting functionalities. It faces issues with security and connectivity, requiring more stable versions and better support documentation.

Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing

Sr. Consultant cum Assistant Manager & Offshore Lead at Deloitte

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.

Has automated manual tasks and simplified integration with pre-built connectors while supporting AI use cases

Technical Specialist App Development at Birlasoft IndiaLtd.

The tool is very user-friendly and not complex to understand. The structure of the platform is easy to understand, and we can build multiple systems with low-code, no-code, so it doesn't require much coding language. Now it is moving more into APIs, so we can create APIs to transfer data, which we can manage. It's moving into AI, so we can create AI agents with LLM models. We can use most of the LLM such as Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Azure AI. With those Snaps, we can integrate and move more into the AI world. SnapLogic is hosted on Groundplex and AWS cloud. It has pre-built connectors, which we call Snaps. That is very helpful to connect with multiple systems. We have a dashboard monitor that is very graphical. We can measure exact times in seconds and how much time it took to complete the process. With that help, it's really helpful to see how much memory consumption is utilized. The monitor structure has very good features for SnapLogic. SnapLogic is an integration tool which we use to integrate multiple systems such as source system, target system, cloud systems, and Groundplex systems. It is an iPaaS tool and a very strong tool. Now it is moving more into APIs and AI/ML tools; it is improving their knowledge. It is helpful for creating SnapLogic agents. In this way, SnapLogic is expanding their work.
