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.

Its functionality and performance are adequate but it provides a single source of truth for customer data
We use it as the Master Data Management platform for a large bank in Australia which has many separate customer data repositories The intent of this platform is to provide a single source of truth for customer data. To some extent, this has been achieved. Any customer MDM project tends to be…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration has a strong enterprise customer base and this is one of the main reasons why we choose to work with them."
"From my standpoint, Informatica offers a pretty robust set of scanning tools that can scan a variety of sources of information."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is very scalable, and if a company needs to expand it, it should not face any issues doing so."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"A great product enrichment tool."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance. Everything can be built under one particular umbrella. If any issues come up, then there won't be any blame game saying that it could be an integration issue or an MDM hub issue because it's wholly owned by Informatica. That's the biggest advantage of Informatica MDM over that of any other tools that are available on the market."
"It is a solid, reliable product with a robust development history and good support behind them."
"The intent of this platform is to provide a single source of truth for customer data."
 

Cons

"The solution is quite expensive."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex."
"I think the price modeling could be improved."
"With limited data it's fine, but with a large volume the scalability is questionable, the threshold of data transaction is different."
"The integration with other data management tools can be enhanced. For instance, there is no integration with tools like Collibra or Hubview."
"OCH has adequate functionality and performance to serve a group customer master."
"Any customer MDM project tends to be complicated and difficult to show a positive business case over a short to medium time frame."
"It has essentially been "frozen" by Oracle - they don't seem to be updating it any further."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"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 price is comparable."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"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."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty 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."
