Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

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 product improves data quality."
"The product is the best in the industry (as it is multidomain) and the vendor support is excellent."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
"Informatica MDM has helped our organization because we now work from a harmonized single record for customers and patients."
"I feel like we're always getting good support from Informatica, even when there are technical challenges, it's one of the best things about the solution."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I use AddressDoctor to validate addresses on an e-commerce site; it is simple to use and the results are always correct."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"Don't know yet. In a trial now. There is much to find out, first and foremost, its performance level when compared with on-prem."
"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"Informatica's issue is the licensing. Right now, there are a lot of new gen MDMs that are offering a lot in a single licensing model."
"From my point of view, a quick response time is needed when searching for an item."
"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."
"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"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."
"The pricing model is something that can be improved."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
