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

"Replication allows us to fully replicate all objects from Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) to in-house/on-premises database in one job."
"This product really improves my organization and fits all of the needed requirements for working with cleansed data."
"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"We are able to set rules, establish a data quality management platform, and monitor the quality."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"I would definitely recommend Informatica Data Quality to others."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"I have used a lot of MDM tools, and I've found that Informatica is the best solution out of all of them in terms of the architecture and user-friendliness."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The good thing about OpenText is that we have the mapping specification guideline available, which is not there in a solution like SEEBURGER."
 

Cons

"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."
"Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work."
"I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"Informatica Axon needs to improve its interface."
"There were a few stability issues, but overall it is a stable product."
"Right now, although they offer some templates, I would want more templates available to be imported."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"Technical support isn't the greatest. The transparency is less than you sometimes need."
"Technical support needs to be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a high price point."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"It's a costly solution"
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
