Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

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

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

Pros

"Scalability is on par or better than any other solution on the market, with one of our customers having over 21 million SKUs in PIM and others having hundreds of international users."
"The data integration and synchronization features in IICS improve the data handling processes."
"It's great as a unified enterprise data management platform."
"The MDM solution is capable of integrating multiple systems, so it helped us to solve the purpose of centralizing the depository as well as the standardization of mass data."
"We have a lot of integrations, and it's very easy to create integrations. They have a lot of connectors."
"It has flexibility in extending the data model."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance."
"Axon does one interesting thing that I don't think other tools do as well. It lets you rate data and incorporates Informatica's data quality feature into it. There are little indications and graphics that show you how good the data quality is, and you can drill into it to see where potential issues lie."
"This solution delivers the value that it is supposed to deliver."
"This solution delivers the value that it is supposed to deliver; it met the needs of the enterprise and is a solid product."
 

Cons

"I used to use Informatica Cloud Data Quality more but recently we have been using another tool that we feel is better because it handles spatial data."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"We promote our code changes from a lower to a higher environment, which is highly complex when working with a multi-domain MDM like Informatica."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals."
"Informatica goes down for maintenance quite a lot due to the upgrades."
"The product requires more polishing and hardening."
"There are not a lot of templates available to use, so we had to start many things from scratch."
"There are not a lot of templates available to use, so we had to start many things from scratch."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"The pricing model is something that can be improved."
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
