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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to aggregate and put together data from around fifty sources into one environment allows us to have a preview of everything in a single place, which is something we did not have previously in our company."
"I am impressed by the solution's interface."
"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 have rated the stability a ten out of ten due to a high level of satisfaction."
"The product is scalable and excellent for enterprise-level organizations."
"We have received a return on investment using Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"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 mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"Connectivity could be improved, it can be a little slow."
"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."
"I would like to see better visuals for business users, such as a dashboard where they can precisely track where problems are."
"They could provide more robust performance for data integration processes. It would help in improving the data quality more efficiently."
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex."
"In certain domains, I am looking for material-level match features that are not customizable. The current solution requires code-writing and tweaking, while other solutions offer material-level matches."
"The UI and UX must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very expensive."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"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."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
