Raj Sethupathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated
Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a stable product without any bugs or glitches."
"Informatica provides a comprehensive solution for on-the-fly or real-time data masking."
"The Mapping Designer allows for declarative ETL development (visual scripting) that leverages a wide array of different transformations."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status."
"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
 

Cons

"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"We promote our code changes from a lower to a higher environment, which is highly complex when working with a multi-domain MDM like Informatica. This is the biggest obstacle for Informatica MDM, and I think they should change it because that's very time consuming."
"The UI is extremely complex"
"The solution is quite expensive."
"One area where Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve is in providing more accelerators for certain functionalities."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"The product is highly-priced."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
