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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its friendly user interface, which makes it easier to create quality shared functionalities or quality rules."
"The scalability is very high."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."
"Over the last decade, Informatica has proved to be the best MDM solution that is available in the market."
"The tool does give a good ROI."
"The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality was most valuable for our real-time data quality monitoring needs."
"Server maintenance, server hosting, backup, restoration, and DB capabilities are not needed in the cloud."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"I find the customizable dashboards convenient. When you have a privatized dashboard, it's easy to log in, get an immediate snapshot of what's happening, and quickly address any problems."
"The Gateways are communicating with a Management Service, which lives in the Cloud, to send usage information or to fetch changes for the deployed APIs."
"The solution is stable."
"All orders are now in real-time and we are adding extra features that can tell us who is placing the order and the different levels of access to different types of customers."
"The ease by which you can define policies to manage is impressive."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"I can't say the user interface is useless, but people don't use it because they find it cumbersome."
"We promote our code changes from a lower to a higher environment, which is highly complex when working with a multi-domain MDM like Informatica. This is the biggest obstacle for Informatica MDM, and I think they should change it because that's very time consuming."
"With the solution, we had some issues, and we have every day, and we used to open a ticket. Sometimes, there are data issues and transformation issues."
"The customer servive and support could be faster. There is a slow turnaround."
"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"The challenge is the product is getting new features at rapid pace."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"The on-premises connectivity can be improved because it is still not at its best."
"There should be closer integration between the API Platform Cloud Service and the Identity Cloud Service to allow IDCS Applications, protecting backend systems, to be linked to the API Applications that consumers use to access APIs."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
