Match and merge functionality is still the best but cloud version needs more functionality
There are various areas for improvement in IDMC. Enhancements on basic data management functionality and the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial. Bulk data management features could be improved from the UI perspective to get to the level of the on prem versions of Informatica MDM. The tool needs to mature but missing small but important features, like restricted dynamic attributes functionality, data inheritance rules in master hierachies, identifiers not being passed in jobs is a drawback.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
"The solution is easier to use compared to the other solutions."
"The feature of auto-onboarding of the assets, enterprise assets via EDC is good."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"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."
"Informatica Data Quality is a product that is worth the money."
"Axon has something called Overlay, which can be used to extend the technical lineage."
"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."
"The stability of the product is very good."
"All the features come as part of a standard license."
 

Cons

"Informatica Axon's response times and certain aspects of the admin panel could be enhanced for better usability."
"We'd like to see the microservices, which don't run yet because the solution is not yet fully cloud-based."
"Enhancements on the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial."
"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."
"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"The product is very expensive"
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"We got a 50% discount."
"It's an expensive solution."
"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."
