Featured Reviews

Hemanthreddy Vakiti - PeerSpot reviewer
Data engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Data quality checks have reduced manual monitoring but still face cost and performance issues
Some of the best features Informatica Data Quality offers include AI automation using CLAIRE, which integrates AI with Informatica Data Quality, and its user-friendly drag-and-drop interface. All of this is simply usable to any person who has minimal knowledge of ETL. Rather than querying every table to check for any duplicate entries or null values, it is impossible to query for each site. Once we integrate it with Informatica Data Quality and use the drag-and-drop function to specify the conditions we need and connect to the databases, it directly checks if the values are within the threshold or if we can set conditions, such as not entering records with null values. It also features a match and merge condition, from which data profiling and data cleansing can be done.
Satyam Saxena - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Automation in data management improves with built-in error rejection but technical support needs enhancement
Multiple areas in Microsoft Data Quality Services could be improved, such as its ability to perform changes automatically, as it currently identifies but does not correct data issues. Regular expression processing is complicated and slow. Technical support from Microsoft is poor, as they do not provide adequate assistance with issues encountered in integration or forming automation. Sometimes solutions to problems take several weeks due to a lack of support, relying instead on personal networks and experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"About Informatica Data Quality, I do not think that I have any questions because the product is very good."
"Since we integrated Informatica Data Quality in our project, the amount of human interaction has reduced, so the team has decreased, resulting in cost savings for our project and improved time by automating checks for missing or null values."
"The primary advantage of Microsoft Data Quality Services is its capability to automate certain tasks, which are otherwise achieved through SQL queries."
"This solution is particularly useful for data enrichment."
 

Cons

"The scalability is not up to mark in my view because even a small increase in data, like the number of rows, can cause the server to crash, requiring a reboot."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a six out of ten, with one being very easy and ten being extremely challenging. So, there is room for improvement in the setup process."
"Technical support from Microsoft is poor, as they do not provide adequate assistance with issues encountered in integration or forming automation."
