Data Integration Consultant GCP/AWS at Infogrators Inc

Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated

Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.

Architect at Netcracker

Provides a complete workflow from testing to production and can handle a million concurrent requests

The user interface is very good. Once you understand it, it's easy to define rules and do any configurations. It comes with an embedded WebLogic application server, which you have to deploy automatically. Once you run the given binary, it will automatically keep everything on the backend. You'll have to create an instant database, and maintain or manage it based on the rules engine. After that, your system is ready to test. The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production. Throughout the testing, everything was good. Many customers are interested in the rules engine. A lot of requests pass through BPM because it's integrated with a lot of other applications or sub-applications.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"MDM doesn't require a separate IDQ."

"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."

"Seeing the data in the mapping itself is really nice."

"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."

"We've used the solution for quite some time, so in our organization, the product is pretty mature."

"We can scan anything."

"Informatica provides a comprehensive solution for on-the-fly or real-time data masking."

"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"The support is good."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."

"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."

"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."

"The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production."

"It is easy and cheap."

More Oracle BPM pros

Cons

"The configuration process is pretty lengthy and challenging and could be made easier to understand."

"Once the data is masked, we won't be able to reverse it back to its original value."

"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."

"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."

"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools."

"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."

"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."

"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."

"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."

"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."

"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."

"Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better."

"You have to maintain it manually."

"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."

"We have had some issues with version migration, from one version of processes to another. We would have to call Oracle Services but on a day to day, we didn't have any issues."

More Oracle BPM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"We are quite happy with the licensing model."

"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."

"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."

"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."

"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."

"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."

"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pricing and cost advice

"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."

"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."

"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."

"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."

"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."

"The pricing is significantly high, particularly for Brazil where fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the real can further increase the cost of Oracle licenses."

"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."

"The licensing model is good."
