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.

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

"What I like best about Informatica MDM is its structured, table-based approach. Unlike Reltio, where data is only visible through the UI and cloud-based, the solution allows access to normalized tables. This means I can directly query and see data in each table. For instance, I can easily get all customer details from the customer table. However, for more complex queries, like seeing all customer interactions with the organization, some SQL knowledge is needed to join different tables and retrieve the details."
"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."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"The process of using the tool's scalability option is well documented."
"We had a bad experience before Informatica Cloud Data Quality, we started a data analytics project that took more than three months of wasted time because we couldn't use the data to create the optimization model."
"I think the integration feature is probably one of the key features in Informatica MDM...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"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."

"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."
"GoldenGate is a good solution to implement in terms of scalability and flexibility."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"One area that could use improvement is the speed of the web interfaces. At present, they are very slow. I think it is essential that we are original and robust on-premises."
"I definitely will not recommend Informatica Cloud Data Quality because it's very hard to manage the licensing model and the price is very high."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality could improve by adding more algorithms for matching and mastering. We currently only have five or six."
"The one thing that I think could be improved is connectivity with the Salesforce because if you're loading a huge amount of data, whatever optimization is carried out, takes some time and it could be a little faster."
"I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required."
"I can't say the user interface is useless, but people don't use it because they find it cumbersome."
"I've found that whatever functionalities are available on-prem, can become a bit of a challenge sometimes in the cloud."
"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."
"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
"It's a costly solution"
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."
"It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
