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.

Real-time integration and seamless data synchronization enhance user experience

The stability of Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is one of its most useful features, although its performance is not too steady. It excels with bidirectional data synchronization. It supports diverse databases and platforms. We link the ODS with numerous source systems, including Oracle, Tarek Data, and Microsoft, with no integration issues. The solution caters to enterprise needs, fitting any organizational requirement, apart from data security issues common to cloud solutions. The cloud data security challenge is notable, necessitating solutions such as private cloud offerings to allay security concerns.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."

"There are a couple of valuable features. One is that it is very quick on the profiling. So, you get a very fast snapshot of the type of data that you're looking at from the profiling perspective. It can highlight anomalies in the data."

"Seeing the data in the mapping itself is really nice."

"It has improved our organization because it has made our data more reliable. Data is the most important asset these days, and in order to trust your data, you need these tools to make sure that your data is clean and reliable."

"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."

"The data quality component is very good."

"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are it is cloud-enabled and has all the elements that are supposed to have in terms of MDM as a solution. All the features that are there. It is very well-integrated with any of the SAP and non-SAP applications. It is quite user-friendly. The user experience that you receive in Informatica MDM is quite good."

"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."

"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."

"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud. Instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."

"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."

"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."

"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."

More Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service pros

Cons

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."

"The ability of the product to leverage the power of big data could be improved."

"Right now, although they offer some templates, I would want more templates available to be imported."

"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."

"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."

"Considering internal data from legacy systems, it is quite difficult to know if Informatica Data Quality meets that high level of accuracy criteria."

"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."

"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."

"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."

"With Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, we have usual cloud solution issues such as privacy and data security."

"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."

"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."

"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."

"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."

"Pricing is rather expensive. Oracle typically prices on the higher side, and there is scope for them to reconsider the price, especially since it is a cloud service."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."

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

"The product has a high price point."

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."

"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."

"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."

"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."

"The product is highly-priced."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
