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.

Allows us to integrate different cloud services with different applications

It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot. When it comes to mapping, you are quite restricted. If you have to use a specific, typical function, you need to do a Java callout or something. OSB has a lot of features they are using like Java APIs because it's on-premises.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The way that the solution scans is very useful."

"I like the connectivity and richness of features for the technical team, the maturity of the product, and that it had a cloud version. There is Informatica Cloud, and it is part of the Informatica Cloud platform."

"The product seems stable enough."

"The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."

"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."

"I have rated the stability a ten out of ten due to a high level of satisfaction."

"The solution's scalability is high."

"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"The solution is easy to manage and offers good integration. You can run all the tasks one by one which is really helpful, and pick the day and time to do so."

"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes integration faster."

"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."

"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."

"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."

"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."

"The most valuable thing to me is its simplicity. A person with zero knowledge can also develop the integration without having extensive technology knowledgebase. They can also work on creating their own integration."

Cons

"The customer servive and support could be faster. There is a slow turnaround."

"There is room for improvement in the Data Marketplace aspect."

"If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it."

"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."

"I feel the out-of-the-box APIs or the API management could be improved slightly from their current state. It could be more user-friendly."

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."

"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."

"In terms of cost effectiveness, Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is more than 20% costly compared to the industry."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."

"Bulk uploading can be a problem when you hit the upper limit."

"The pricing could be more competitive."

"I would like to see different cloud adapters or connectors in case of integration. When you have Oracle to Oracle, they are good. They have really good connectors, but if it is a different ERP, like Obsidian, that is where they are faced with problems in OIC."

"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."

"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."

"It can be made much easier for users. They should be allowed to easily monitor the data extraction and flow, allowing them to observe real-time data flow within the software, making the process straightforward."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."

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

"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."

"Informatica MDM is a costly solution because it comes as a bundle. They are also globally positioning themselves and are definitely working on very upgraded technologies. If someone wanted to do it on the cloud, they have a lot of flexibility because they upgrade themselves according to the current needs. It definitely comes with a lot of features and that's the reason why it's costly. The licensing cost should be approximately one million dollars. It's about four to five times that of other vendors."

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

"The pricing is quite flexible."

"The price is comparable."
