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.

Quick MVP development facilitated by low-code data management
Semarchy xDM's unique selling point is its quick turnover time, allowing for the rapid development of a proof of concept or minimum viable product. Its low-code approach, essentially a wrapper for SQL, enables easy and quick development. The core features include validation business rules, deduplication, merging, and consolidation from multiple sources.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am impressed by the solution's interface."
"The product is stable."
"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 interface is really good."
"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."
"The product seems stable enough."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"The most valuable features for ensuring data accuracy and quality are mappings and creating business rules."
"Profisee's customer service is very responsive, and they have a comprehensive training academy, Profisee Academy, that helps guide the implementation process."
"The product is able to utilize the SQL server toolkit and it has tight integration with the SQL server."
"The process of categorizing data, creating glossaries, and generating metadata is streamlined and less time-consuming."
"We really like the matching and merging features."
"Semarchy xDM's unique selling point is its quick turnover time, allowing for the rapid development of a proof of concept or minimum viable product."
"The flexibility of Semarchy xDM allows for possible deployment on-premises, in the cloud, or both."
"Their documentation is excellent."
 

Cons

"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"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."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"Some security complexities might add time to the setup."
"When we updated to version 7.1, there were some workflow issues."
"Profisee could improve in providing clearer data lineage information."
"A more convenient approach would involve integrating all the pre-existing elements into Profisee itself."
"The way training is laid out in their Profisee University, makes it really, really hard to find what you need fast."
"They need to make the workflow more enhanced or dynamic in its functionality."
"There is room for improvement in terms of local support."
"There is room for improvement in the developer experience, particularly for those who are SQL proficient, as having more direct access would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"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 is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"It's an expensive solution."
"We got a 50% discount."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"The pricing is moderate, falling in the middle range—not excessively low nor overly expensive."
"We didn't come across any additional licensing fees."
