Featured Reviews

Saikat Ghosh - PeerSpot reviewer
Match and merge functionality is still the best but cloud version needs more functionality
There are various areas for improvement in IDMC. Enhancements on basic data management functionality and the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial. Bulk data management features could be improved from the UI perspective to get to the level of the on prem versions of Informatica MDM. The tool needs to mature but missing small but important features, like restricted dynamic attributes functionality, data inheritance rules in master hierachies, identifiers not being passed in jobs is a drawback.
Peeyush Chouksey - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"MDM doesn't require a separate IDQ."
"The valuable feature is that we can automate the integration part...It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"It is easy to create REST-based interfaces of the master data objects."
"It is a scalable product."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes integration faster."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"The customer servive and support could be faster. There is a slow turnaround."
"Metadata querying is right now not there in Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"There is room for improvement in the Data Marketplace aspect."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"The UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"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."
"Bulk uploading can be a problem when you hit the upper limit."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"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."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"The product is highly-priced."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"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 price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
