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.

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

"We can see all our information on a single screen."
"I have used a lot of MDM tools, and I've found that Informatica is the best solution out of all of them in terms of the architecture and user-friendliness."
"The solution is stable."
"The data mapping capability is a valuable feature."
"The features that I have found most valuable are, first of all, that it comes as part of this whole bundle of Informatica tools. So if you've been implementing Informatica MDM across a business, you'd often find it comes with it. It's been thrown in as a sweetener. The adoption of it is often the challenge because as part of your MDM project, governance is seen as something beyond the MDM and is often restrictive. So this tool actually, for the first time, when you talk to data governance teams, gives a holistic view of what a data governance team can do with this tool."
"Overall product management, flexibility, intuitiveness and governance."
"The user interface is flexible and the visibility of the data flow is amazing."
"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and maintain."
"The quality of data has vastly improved and our business intelligence reports are accurate in real time."
"The features I like most about Oracle Data Quality include extraction, transformation, and validation, which makes it a multipurpose product such as Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator. I also like that Oracle Data Quality is very fast, so you can use it for a large volume of data within a short period. You have to do the validation very quickly, so the solution helps in that area of data quality. Another feature of Oracle Data Quality that I like is the MDM (Master Data Management) where you'll have a single source of protection, and this makes the solution perfect and helpful to my company."
"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."
"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."
"However, I think Oracle Data Quality is definitely worth giving a try."
"Compared to the competition, Oracle Data Quality is a very flexible and advanced product."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
 

Cons

"The integration with other data management tools can be enhanced. For instance, there is no integration with tools like Collibra or Hubview."
"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."
"They need more feature flexibility, as it is not fully developed."
"Informatica products are always increasing in price. Nowadays, many of their customers are leaving and seeking other data integration tools."
"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."
"I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required."
"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."
"The job scheduler needs improvement."
"Mobile support and mobile app can be implemented, since business users generally prefers to work with their laptops and mobile phones."
"Integration performance and availability of out of the box integration to more products (ERP Tools, Data Cleansing Software etc.)."
"The initial setup was complicated, there is a lot of configuration that needs to be done."
"If the length of time required for deployment was reduced then it would be very helpful."
"There are some challenges with respect to standardization, matching, segregation, and merging."
"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."
"We have experienced some system crashes i.e. when tying to run Data Profiling Processes for very large data sets."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"The licensing costs attached to the solution are pretty high, but then, with the cloud model, the prices depend on what it provides for the value of money, which I feel was very high."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"We pay for a yearly subscription."
"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"The price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."
"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
