Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.

A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is applicable for both technical and business users."
"I do a quite a lot of data transformations, and the fact that I can do them without changing any of my SQL queries from the code, using the inbuilt tools, is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon has been the data marketplace."
"The governance process was fully manual before, but Axon helped us configure those processes, giving us more visibility, transparency, and control over the data."
"It has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms. They're very robust."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."
"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"Informatica Axon's response times and certain aspects of the admin panel could be enhanced for better usability."
"The price modeling could be more flexible."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"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."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
