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

"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"The advanced features like task flow and conditional integration are particularly useful."
"This flexibility is what I really love about Informatica."
"The solution has an excellent data profiler."
"The solution is stable."
"The tool does give a good ROI."
"The feature that allows me to search across the entire organizational database and then look through what objects are in which tables and which locations is quite handy."
"The user interface is flexible and the visibility of the data flow is amazing."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions."
"The data discovery isn't that good yet for Salesforce. We have another tool that we use for this. It may be a problem because Salesforce on the cloud."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a two out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy."
"Complex to adapt data model provided using web service and e-commerce one."
"There's definitely room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness. One example is that you can't search for jobs directly by file name. You can only search by job name. So, if you want to find a job that works with a specific file, you have to go through each job individually to find the right one. So, I'd like to see a faster search, one where I can search directly by file name."
"Data integration should be improved."
"Connectivity could be improved, it can be a little slow."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"It's a costly solution"
"Informatica is very expensive."
