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 Data Quality is a solid integration tool."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"The solution's most valuable features are its data quality, match-merge engine, and CLAIRE AI engine, which helps with AI automation."
"Axon has something called Overlay, which can be used to extend the technical lineage."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The intent of this platform is to provide a single source of truth for customer data."
"It is a solid, reliable product with a robust development history and good support behind them."
 

Cons

"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"The solution should improve its integration."
"I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required."
"In terms of cost effectiveness, Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is more than 20% costly compared to the industry."
"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used. Each customer purchases a certain amount of IPUs per month, but you can use more or less than that defined quantity. The only problem is if you don't use the all your IPUs, they don't carry over into the next month. I think customers should have the ability to transfer unused IPUs into the next month or year. This improvement could help give customers more flexibility, especially since cloud solutions need flexibility in how we use and pay for them."
"Informatica products are always increasing in price. Nowadays, many of their customers are leaving and seeking other data integration tools."
"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"OCH has adequate functionality and performance to serve a group customer master."
"It has essentially been "frozen" by Oracle - they don't seem to be updating it any further."
"Any customer MDM project tends to be complicated and difficult to show a positive business case over a short to medium time frame."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an expensive solution."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"Informatica is very expensive."
