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.

My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its key capability is in data maintenance, as we can maintain all the organizational data in a single software and see all our information on a single screen."
"The solution offers good data governance."
"Informatica MDM helped us realize our goal of maintaining a distinct (golden) record in our database for better decision making and reporting purposes."
"When we use Informatica, we have a complete global vision of our clouds and the local application data and that is very important for us."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"This solution allows you to easily access and make use of information that you have in your on-premises environment."
"Product-wise, compared to other on-premise tools, Informatica Cloud Data Integration can be deployed on-premises and cloud."
"The feature I found most valuable in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services is the mapping. You just drag, and it maps the data. Mapping is very easy, and it's no code. When you migrate data or when the data interaction happens at the source and destination, the challenge is that you'll get different formats. The validation has to be done in the middleware, and the transformation should happen. In Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, it's very easy to do data validation and transformation compared to any other tool."
"We've found it to be very stable."
"It has helped us to better organize, control and monitor the APIs across the solution landscape in the enterprise."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"The product has been very easy to use."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."
 

Cons

"Informatica MDM has a complex user interface, which could be improved."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"With limited data it's fine, but with a large volume the scalability is questionable, the threshold of data transaction is different."
"Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"The solution should improve its integration."
"I would like to see more API integration to have the capability to build a report using other third party reporting tools allowing things to be streamlined."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"Oracle needs to improve on access to technical documentation."
"The cost of the solution is very high. It's not very cheap."
"Although it is working great for us at the moment, we don't enjoy its user-interface. The UI is based on an old approach and needs an overhaul to modernize the UI and user interaction."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"The product is very expensive"
"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"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."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
