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.

Fast, has good extraction, validation, and transformation features, and provides good support
Though validation is good and fast enough in Oracle Data Quality, an area for improvement is the accuracy of the validation. Though the solution offers multidimensional validation, it needs a bit more improvement in the accuracy aspect because smaller products can offer better accuracy in terms of validation compared to Oracle Data Quality. What I'd like to see from the solution in its next release, is an increase in compliances and regulations that would allow it to cover all industries because multiple verticals demand data quality nowadays, and this improvement will be helpful as Oracle Data Quality is an in-built delivered solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When I compare with other vendors, Informatica support is better, feedback-wise."
"The out-of-the-box features and standard profiling options provide quick visibility of the data within minutes, which facilitates discussions with the business."
"The most valuable features are data quality, data integrate transformations, match-merge, and a few MDM solutions we build into data quality transformation."
"We can scan anything."
"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"The solution is straightforward."
"When we use Informatica, we have a complete global vision of our clouds and the local application data and that is very important for us."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"I'd recommend this solution to anyone who is using data quality or would want to know the quality of data in their company and fix the data."
"Oracle EDQ is indeed a state-of-the-art tool that will help you understand, improve, protect, and govern the quality of your enterprise data in a single integrated and collaborative environment."
"Oracle Data Quality gives you value for money and better ROI, especially when it's deployed on the cloud, because it's fast, ready to use, and you can just subscribe and provision it, then start using it without great effort for setup, installation, or configuration."
"With Oracle Data Quality, the most valuable feature is entity matching."
"Compared to the competition, Oracle Data Quality is a very flexible and advanced product."
"However, I think Oracle Data Quality is definitely worth giving a try."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and maintain."
 

Cons

"Once the data is masked, we won't be able to reverse it back to its original value."
"The downside of this solution is that the UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"The product's pricing is definitely an area where a bit of improvement is needed."
"The tool could be improved in terms of ease of use, particularly for those without technical expertise. Understanding and extracting data from the table-based structure requires some SQL knowledge and technical skills. Additionally, while Informatica MDM has moved towards a cloud-based MDM with a UI similar to Reltio, I haven't used it, so I can't comment on its effectiveness."
"The configurations could be better. It is a bit confusing because we must develop two tools when building a data model in Informatica MDM. Even though Informatica MDM is a single tool, we have our hub console plus the provisioning tool within that. Whatever data model we are building in the hub console, we have to develop it in the provisioning tool again. It is double the work to create a data model. We are also using external calls or the Java custom plans functions. This can be both positive and negative. Since MDM as a client does not support any complex validation, we have to depend on the external call or a Java call. Every time we deployed, the entire solution was impacted if something went wrong."
"Most of the new features added by Informatica are through Elastic Mapping. It would be helpful to have features like multithreading or partitioning for Salesforce to enhance performance."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"I have a lot of issues with their customer support and not getting the required technical information, which we actually need unless you can do a call with their senior technicians."
"If the length of time required for deployment was reduced then it would be very helpful."
"Oracle is currently not that intuitive. We need to use programmers to write code for a lot of the procedures. We need to have them write CL SQL code and write a CL script."
"Though the solution offers multidimensional validation, it needs a bit more improvement in the accuracy aspect because smaller products can offer better accuracy in terms of validation compared to Oracle Data Quality."
"Though validation is good and fast enough in Oracle Data Quality, an area for improvement is the accuracy of the validation.

"Oracle Data Quality should integrate with data warehousing solutions such as Azure and CWS Office. For example, having the ability to integrate with tools, such as Azure Synapse and SQL data warehousing would be a great benefit."
"We have experienced some system crashes i.e. when tying to run Data Profiling Processes for very large data sets."
"Mobile support and mobile app can be implemented, since business users generally prefers to work with their laptops and mobile phones."
"Oracle is currently not that intuitive. We need to use programmers to write code for a lot of the procedures."
