Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Significant email security benefits combined with efficient spam filtering, yet cost hinders long-term use
The integration with our on-prem Exchange was very straightforward; the only thing we did was redirect all email traffic over Proofpoint, so Proofpoint did everything independently, and we were very happy. I am still receiving emails from Proofpoint's site. Not using it at the moment, but in the short term we will be tackling that portion of the product as well. We cannot provide feedback regarding Dynamics because we are not experienced enough at the moment; we have initiatives going on but did not get enough feedback from end users. Based on my overall experience with Proofpoint, considering the cost perspective, I would rate it a 7 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"The features for data quality, data cataloging, and UI are excellent."
"Axon has something called Overlay, which can be used to extend the technical lineage."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) a 10 out of 10."
"I like that Informatica MDM has robust matching technology. Informatica MDM is also porting the external Java applications for validations. I can consider that a must-have. It is also exposed to Rest API calls, and we can engage in real-time integrations with any third-party systems."
"Kong Konnect has positively impacted our organization by securing our APIs, which is one of the main concerns for us, and securing our APIs has benefited our organization by improving compliance and reducing incidents."
"Their tech support is excellent; when I raise an incident or a support ticket, it gets answered in four hours."
"Technical support from Proofpoint was absolutely excellent."
"Kong Konnect has positively impacted my organization by making our development easier and helping us push new routes to our current customers."
"The documentation is excellent, and it includes a developer portal, which helps create a common distribution channel for APIs within and outside the enterprise."
 

Cons

"In terms of cost effectiveness, Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is more than 20% costly compared to the industry."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"Informatica MDM could improve the interdependency with integration. The solution sometimes becomes a bit difficult to change considering a lot of interdependency with the integration. There can be some improvement in the workflows and they can introduce more artificial intelligence."
"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."
"The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep."
"Kong Konnect's RBAC needs to evolve more, as they currently offer only one or two levels of RBAC in terms of organization and teams."
"Pricing was the issue as it becomes very expensive due to the nature of local circumstances."
"I wish Kong Konnect could improve by having a built-in notification system whenever any APIs get pinged so that we can receive alerts and send them to the developer."
"Kong Konnect needs improvement in the UI."
"When comparing documentation, Kong's documentation is not on par with Google, Amazon, or other cloud providers."
