Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.

Good data fabric and a straightforward setup with the ability to extend
I really like the data fabric. In my data fabric, we have a component related to cloud computing that is quite useful. The data fabric has improved over the previous version. The user interface is fine. There are good integrations possible with the product. The initial setup is very straightforward. It is a scalable product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."
"It has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms. They're very robust."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon has been the data marketplace."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to use JavaScript in formulas."
"The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep."
"The biggest advantage of Talend is that they have an active community. If we face any issue, we can get input in a short duration of time."
"I really like the data fabric."
 

Cons

"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used. Each customer purchases a certain amount of IPUs per month, but you can use more or less than that defined quantity. The only problem is if you don't use the all your IPUs, they don't carry over into the next month. I think customers should have the ability to transfer unused IPUs into the next month or year. This improvement could help give customers more flexibility, especially since cloud solutions need flexibility in how we use and pay for them."
"The scalability is tough."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"One area where Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve is in providing more accelerators for certain functionalities."
"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends. The solution is good, but it definitely needs a lot of improvement and needs to speed up as per the market."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"The UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"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."
"It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly."
"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools."
"I do not have notes for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"The product is very expensive"
"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."
"The product has a high price point."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The price is comparable."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"The price of the solution is very, very high."
"The licensing fees vary depending on the products that you purchase."
"It has one single license, and everything is included in it."
