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.

Used to manage the complete attributes of products, but its installation could be a little bit easier
The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. It's not difficult for people to learn to use the solution. Oracle provides training to use the solution through many training videos available on Oracle University. I would recommend the solution to other users. Once you create an item in the solution, it will be automatically available in other modules. The solution is fully integrated with other Oracle models. If you want to integrate the solution with non-Oracle modules, you have to work on it. There are always options to integrate the solution with non-Oracle applications. It would be easier to integrate the solution with other Oracle applications because there are options to do so. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"The use case is embedding the data or the business glossary into the day-to-day workflow, for example, integrating it with Tableau so when people are looking at a Tableau report, they understand exactly what the data lineage is, where this data is coming from, and exactly what those business glossary terms mean so they can more accurately interpret and analyze the report."
"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"The process of using the tool's scalability option is well documented."
"This product is the most agile way to use all of the data capabilities and data services that you need to exploit in your company."
"It's probably one of the leading lights in ETL."
"The solution is applicable for both technical and business users."
"New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the management of the complete attributes of products and services."
 

Cons

"In terms of cost effectiveness, Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is more than 20% costly compared to the industry."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
"The only thing that I can imagine that might be improved is how the available transactions verify addresses used. These transactions have a valid end date and must be used within the agreed timeframe."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"It can be improved in terms of performance and execution. I'm expecting better performance."
"Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."
"The solution's installation could be a little bit easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"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."
