Reltio: Question about Master Data Management Capabilities

Riversand technology is leader in the MDM space and makes a product called MDMcenter. Gartner and Forrester put these guys in a leader and visionary quadrant topping Informatica, oracle, and sap. They have a product used by many fortune 1000s and multinational companies. I have rolled out MDM solutions for a bunch of customers using different platforms and Riversand's is the best. They have cloud based and on premise solutions. It can scale from small projects to biggest implementations of the planet, different geographies/locations, langauges and near infinite entities. Their licensing can vary based on required modules; but they offer Matching, Deduplication, Searching, Workflow, Modeling, Analytics, Integration, Domain / cross-domain, Governance tools to change / commit / rollback. The applications modeling and framework is flexible so it can handle any domain, product, retail, manufacturing, customer, vendor, finance, investment vehicles, jewelry, oil and gas, person, auto, high tech, oil gas, fast food, grocery, etc. Hands down this is best product in its class. It's top shelf. Given the choice and having used other products, I'd choice Riversand over the other competing products. If you didn't check them out yet, you definitely should.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly."

"The feature I found most valuable in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services is the mapping. You just drag, and it maps the data. Mapping is very easy, and it's no code. When you migrate data or when the data interaction happens at the source and destination, the challenge is that you'll get different formats. The validation has to be done in the middleware, and the transformation should happen. In Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, it's very easy to do data validation and transformation compared to any other tool."

"When I compare with other vendors, Informatica support is better, feedback-wise."

"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."

"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."

"It has all the advantages of the Cloud in that you can use it without worrying about infrastructure, upkeep, or upgrades, and Informatica is in charge of all those things."

"The solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."

"The solution is stable."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"As a product that integrates out of the box with Oracle EBS and Hyperion the product has proved to be a great step forward in allowing us to manage reference data across multiple platforms and something that we were able to deploy quite easily."

"With this application, if data was entered manually with a system whose data we migrated onto the DRM system, we can automate 90% of that manual entry."

"Implementing the workflow portion of DRM which is called Data Relationship Governance (DRG) the client cut that time down to an hour."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to use JavaScript in formulas."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Using DRG within Oracle Data Relationship Management has been beneficial for our organization."

"DRM customer service is top notch since it is a small set of people that use it."

Cons

"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository."

"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."

"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."

"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."

"There were a few stability issues, but overall it is a stable product."

"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository. Business rules for the attributes that you have, keeping them in that central repository, and governance of them is something which Axon is lacking a bit. The Informatica Data Quality tool actually caters to that, so that's probably why they have not built that up in the Axon, but it is definitely something that can be built in to this product, as well."

"We experienced several basic issues with the product that required daily meetings with Informatica product specialists."

"This is a costly solution."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"Better external connections and API integrations are needed."

"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."

"Improvements are needed in the fees and the licensing part. The tool's price can be made lower."

"If you hard-code values into the properties, you'll get customer complaints that DRM is "running slow."

"The ROI will be a few years. DRM/DRG is really expensive."

"Integrating with non-Oracle products needs improvement, it only provides a text output file."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."

"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."

"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."

"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."

"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."

"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."

"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."

"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
