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.

There should be more customization options, as many things are restricted. This customization should suit individual needs, allowing for more UI customization, especially during consent collection. Also, improvements in data discovery and classification are needed, with the use of AI-oriented data discovery and more robust PDF file scanning capabilities. The scalability could be improved, particularly in detailed customization beyond the standard offering. Stability issues, like unexpected backend actions or data loss during updates, need to be addressed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Informatica Persistent Data Masking can mask production data for different users, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information."
"I like the connectivity and richness of features for the technical team, the maturity of the product, and that it had a cloud version. There is Informatica Cloud, and it is part of the Informatica Cloud platform."
"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."
"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"The ability to aggregate and put together data from around fifty sources into one environment allows us to have a preview of everything in a single place, which is something we did not have previously in our company."
"Data synchronization tasks."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"Single and consistent view of Customer Data arising from a centralized data set with unique customer records."
"It helps me in managing and using personal data while complying with the regulatory framework."
"The platform enhances the collaboration between data governance teams and other business units."
"The product's valuable feature is its integration with other tools, such as risk management and risk assessment."
"OneTrust allows seamless management of multiple geolocations at one time and offers workflow automation based on location-specific parameters."
"The tool gives us the ability to trace the path of an incident."
"One valuable aspect of the solution is its cloud-based nature. Users can just pay the fees and get started instantly."
"I recommend using a tool like OneTrust DataGovernance for managing regulated services, especially those handling personal information."
"The product is easy to use, with excellent integration capabilities that, although they could be improved, are still better than other options."
 

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 initial setup was not very straightforward. Not complex, but not very simple either."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"The product isn't mature enough to provide suitable connectors to various data engines."
"The platform could benefit from more competitive AI features, more user-friendly dashboards, and better automatic recognition or advanced templates."
"The process management capability could be improved. It would be beneficial to have an authorization mechanism for users to process certain actions."
"To succeed in this market, OneTrust needs to invest more and check the requirements from Saudi Arabian regulations."
"Deployment is a big issue."
"The process management capability could be improved."
"The subject rights and concerns functionality needs to be improved."
"Stability issues, like unexpected backend actions or data loss during updates, need to be addressed."
"In OneTrust DataGovernance, there is room for improvement in creating customized email notifications in plain language and enhancing text editor features for form creation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"There is a licensing fee that we pay regularly."
"The product is worth every penny."
"The solution is a low-cost option."
