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.

A well-established product that meets all our specifications in terms of usability
In the initial stage when we went with Data Integrator Cloud Service it was primarily the nativity factor that was key for us. Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications, and the ability to configure activities and direct integration with various other Oracle products, were the main attractive features within ODI. This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications. It meets all our specifications in terms of usability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Informatica comes with a predefined data model which is the way in which you enrich your products, acting not only as master data but also as a product enrichment tool, providing flexibility with an undefined number of attributes that define a product and the ability to plug it in with any e-commerce website."
"The cost of the product is high, but feature wise, it provides a whole lot of features that can easily solve your problems."
"The data integration and synchronization features in IICS improve the data handling processes."
"This product is the most agile way to use all of the data capabilities and data services that you need to exploit in your company."
"We can scan anything."
"I was responsible for installing Informatica Cloud Data Quality on Google infrastructure, which was straightforward."
"Server maintenance, server hosting, backup, restoration, and DB capabilities are not needed in the cloud."
"It allows the creation of identical tasks that can be applied across multiple tables, ranging from 100 to even 1,000 tables."
"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 the integration a little faster and makes it easier to implement the integration quickly."
"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."
"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 solution is very stable and it's great once you get it working correctly."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
 

Cons

"I would rate it a seven out of ten due to lack of inbuilt BAM and BRE features."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"In general, it is good. We used to face some Java application problems, approximately two issues a month."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"I've found that whatever functionalities are available on-prem, can become a bit of a challenge sometimes in the cloud."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time."
"Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"The solution is expensive."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
"Licensing costs for this Oracle solution are expensive. ODI forms an integral part of the overall PaaS solution and becomes a kind of backbone for that particular service, which is painful because from a PaaS perspective, the licensing costs just shoot off the roof."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"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 expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"So, there are plans for licensing. There are subscription-based and usage-based licenses. Also, there are licenses for exceptional analytics, etc. In short, there are different models of licensing for every enterprise."
"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."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
