Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

Industry-leading, easy to implement, and has good mapping specification guidelines
The good thing about OpenText is that we have the mapping specification guideline available, which is not there in a solution like SEEBURGER. Whenever you want to take a decision to move away from OpenText, you have already documented your mapping and what your mapping looks like. So you go to the next provider, provide them with that mapping specification, and it'll be very easy for them to develop a new map instead of just taking the data - input data, output data - and then looking for how the data is getting transformed. So you have the mapping spec level which is a very good feature of OpenText, which we do not have in SEEBURGER. It's very hard to move from SEEBURGER. The solution is easy to implement. It's stable and reliable. They are the industry leaders in the integration space.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has improved our organization by providing data quality."
"The solution is stable."
"Now that we run all the addresses through AddressDoctor, we know what is a deliverable address and what is not, and we see the suggestion list for the addresses which are not deliverable."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"The solution is very scalable, and if a company needs to expand it, it should not face any issues doing so."
"Offers data lineage feature"
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"The ability to clean out data and improve the data quality is the best feature."
"The good thing about OpenText is that we have the mapping specification guideline available, which is not there in a solution like SEEBURGER."
"The solution is easy to implement."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel."
"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used."
"The configuration process is pretty lengthy and challenging and could be made easier to understand."
"The tool could be improved in terms of ease of use, particularly for those without technical expertise. Understanding and extracting data from the table-based structure requires some SQL knowledge and technical skills. Additionally, while Informatica MDM has moved towards a cloud-based MDM with a UI similar to Reltio, I haven't used it, so I can't comment on its effectiveness."
"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."
"The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"Technical support needs to be better."
"Technical support isn't the greatest. The transparency is less than you sometimes need."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
"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."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"It's a very expensive solution"
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
