Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.

Secure and simplify API management with effective deployment options

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"I like the number of options that are presented with Informatica, fuzzy matching, and your screen."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) a 10 out of 10."
"Informatica is user-friendly, stable, and scalable. These three aspects are the most valuable for us. If we can make it work well with the CRM, we can continue or try again this year to complete that part of the project. I am confident that this kind of solution is what we need because we have a third-party resource that works in the development."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"The solution has multiple valuable features for metadata collection"
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"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 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 most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"The security mode and the deployment process are significant assets, offering simplified deployment and effective troubleshooting options, including Docker support."
"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."
 

Cons

"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"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."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"The product has a high price point."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"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."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"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 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."
