Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Offers good scalability, strong stability and seamless integration
The user interface is really user-friendly and intuitive. It was a major plus. The integration process was smooth. Oracle's security is good and significantly better than that of other solutions I've encountered. Previously, we had separate data interfaces for 15 concrete mixing plants, requiring manual document creation in Oracle. Now, with integrated automation, production has become much easier and more efficient over the past three years.

Quotes from Members

"The user interface is really user-friendly and intuitive."
 

Cons

"User/group administration could use improvement."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog is hard to set up, so this is an area for improvement, e.g. it would be good if they make it easier to set up, because the project was made 80% of the time of the setup."
"In the on-premises version, features like web service consumer and web service provider are available, but these functionalities are currently unavailable in the cloud edition."
"We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB."
"The initial setup was not very straightforward. Not complex, but not very simple either."
"The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing."

"The solution could improve by adding more advanced features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"The pricing model is something that can be improved."
"It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
