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.

A highly scalable and flexible solution that has excellent workflows and provides fast technical support
I am satisfied with the product. The documentation is getting better. I rate the documentation a six out of ten. We use the capability of this product to use other products like IBM to move data. The solution's workflows are its best feature. The tool is workflow-based and is very useful for integration. It is a hub for our clients. It is very useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall product management, flexibility, intuitiveness and governance."
"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"It is very useful for testing purposes and designing mappings for small projects."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"I give the stability a ten out of ten."
"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."
"This solution allows you to easily access and make use of information that you have in your on-premises environment."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"The tool has good scalability and flexibility."
 

Cons

"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools."
"The product isn't mature enough to provide suitable connectors to various data engines."
"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."
"We'd like to see the microservices, which don't run yet because the solution is not yet fully cloud-based."
"Informatica products are always increasing in price. Nowadays, many of their customers are leaving and seeking other data integration tools."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"Mainly, MDM requires improvement when you need to migrate your version to a later one -- because it is very difficult and takes a lot of time to convert the processes you have already developed and implemented on a previous version, and can cause a need to rework the processes."
"One is the insight into the data lineage which was a huge promise made by the product, but one that it never delivered in practice."
"There are not many consultants who know the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"Informatica MDM is a costly solution because it comes as a bundle. They are also globally positioning themselves and are definitely working on very upgraded technologies. If someone wanted to do it on the cloud, they have a lot of flexibility because they upgrade themselves according to the current needs. It definitely comes with a lot of features and that's the reason why it's costly. The licensing cost should be approximately one million dollars. It's about four to five times that of other vendors."
"The pricing model is something that can be improved."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"The product is highly-priced."
"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."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The pricing is aligned with other products."
