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.

A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation
I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"The Mapping Designer allows for declarative ETL development (visual scripting) that leverages a wide array of different transformations."
"I have rated the stability a ten out of ten due to a high level of satisfaction."
"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."
"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"​The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them."
"OpenText MBPM is a stable solution."
"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
 

Cons

"The tool is quite good overall, but sometimes the number of modules can be overwhelming. If the development interface could be optimized to have fewer modules, it would be greatly beneficial."
"In terms of data volume processing, Intelligent Cloud Services does not match the efficiency of Power Center."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"The product is more expensive than other similar solutions."
"The biggest pain point for us is the documentation. Typically, you have to go through knowledge forums and knowledge groups to find out about the syntax issues for interfacing with new products. Typically, you've got to deal with someone who has been through the pain before. Their documents are not really up to date with current innovations happening in the industry. As big as they are, you can't really expect it, but that's our pain point."
"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 cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement."
"Most of the new features added by Informatica are through Elastic Mapping. It would be helpful to have features like multithreading or partitioning for Salesforce to enhance performance."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"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."
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"It's a costly solution"
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."
"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."
