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.

Stable with good support but the single-sign on could be improved
Once the data masking was complete, we were not confident that the data was good. A lot of data modeling needed to be added to make sure that the quality of the data was satisfactory. The definition phase was very slow, but that was due to a lack of knowledge that the client had. We were fortunate to locate the correct resources. Finding the correct resources on the market is a problem. We were very fortunate. Some of the issues we were experiencing were with setting up the single sign-on in the beginning. There are not a lot of templates available to use, so we had to start many things from scratch. It wasn't difficult but I would have preferred it. They may have already improved or added more, as it's been a year from when we needed it. Generally speaking, I would like to see more templates available.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."

"The Mapping Designer allows for declarative ETL development (visual scripting) that leverages a wide array of different transformations."
"A great product enrichment tool."

"The solution scales well."
"This solution delivers the value that it is supposed to deliver."
 

Cons

"The pricing model is problematic."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"The product isn't mature enough to provide suitable connectors to various data engines."
"The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement."
"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"There are not a lot of templates available to use, so we had to start many things from scratch."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It's a very expensive solution"
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"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 comparable."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"Informatica is very expensive."
