Find out in this report how the two Data Quality solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset."
"I like the connectivity and richness of features for the technical team, the maturity of the product, and that it had a cloud version. There is Informatica Cloud, and it is part of the Informatica Cloud platform."
"It is very useful for testing purposes and designing mappings for small projects. If you go for IDQ in the mapping itself, you can see the data. You can then correct it, and test it so easily. It is working fine. It is also stable, scalable, and easy to deploy."
"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"There are a couple of valuable features. One is that it is very quick on the profiling. So, you get a very fast snapshot of the type of data that you're looking at from the profiling perspective. It can highlight anomalies in the data."
"We are able to set rules, establish a data quality management platform, and monitor the quality."
"The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"I give the stability a ten out of ten."
"Setup is straightforward."
"The scorecard will highlight the percentage of good data and ensure the user can feel confident that the data is accurate within predetermined limits."
"The solution is very fast."
"Data insight is the most valuable feature."
"The data profiling was excellent, as was the ease of generating the dashboards."
"Ability to collect information, monitor user access and to plan storage capacity."
"The Data Cleansing and the scorecard dashboard are very valuable. Additionally, the financial aspect of SAP Information Steward is very good. When a rule is incorrect then it will show how much is it costing the business. These features are very valuable."
"The most valuable features are data quality insight, metadata management, and metadata dictionary."
"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."
"One area that could use improvement is the speed of the web interfaces. At present, they are very slow. I think it is essential that we are original and robust on-premises."
"Their UI needs improvement. Their scorecards and reporting also need improvement. Their data quality reporting, especially their dashboards and scorecards, is lackluster at best. Its reporting capabilities are limited. If you want to do anything beyond its limited reporting capabilities, then you're going to have to use an external reporting tool such as Power BI or something like that."
"There's certainly room for improvement. One crucial area is generating detailed reports on file statuses. Presently, this is represented visually, often as graphs or charts. Such reporting could offer comprehensive insights into the areas that demand attention and further scrutiny."
"Exploring the possibility of incorporating AI capabilities that can suggest additional rules would significantly streamline our data analysis process following data profiling."
"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"I would like to see better visuals for business users, such as a dashboard where they can precisely track where problems are."
"The customer servive and support could be faster. There is a slow turnaround."
"The solution could improve by incorporating other applications, such as Power BI to show more visualization. More interaction with other solutions would be a good benefit."
"The support team is not very responsive."
"Performance could be improved."
"A problem with the solution is that it does not allow us to review the results of Information Stewards for other analogies."
"Needs to be more powerful on rules."
"We'd like to see some manipulation techniques included in SAP Information Steward."
"Granularity could be reduced from an application level to the object level."
"SAP Information Steward could be improved by offering a cloud version of the product."
