Cons
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality could improve by adding more algorithms for matching and mastering. We currently only have five or six. Additionally, the parallelism in data is better in other solutions, such as IBM.""I used to use this tool more but recently we have been using another tool that we feel is better because it handles spatial data. Informatica Cloud Data Quality could improve by adding the ability to handle spatial data.""Logical views are a little bit behind in comparison to the on-premise version.""Some capabilities from the cloud version are not included in the on-premises version.""The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""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.""The integration with older technology and cloud quality needs improvement.""If given the opportunity, I would like to address these concerns, particularly with regard to enhancing the end-user experience."

More Informatica Cloud Data Quality Cons →

"The user experience of metapedia could be improved.""Needs to be more powerful on rules.""Performance could be improved.""The solution could improve by incorporating other applications, such as Power BI to show more visualization.
