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.

Good for diagnostics, stable, and has a straightforward setup, but lacks technology references
What's missing in the Talend MDM Platform is that it's not maintaining technology references. For example, my company needs a reference case if the platform has been implemented for a configuration that's similar to the client's required configuration. Currently, the client is still reluctant to roll out the Talend MDM Platform at a wider level because there's still no reference received from the Talend team.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The solution has the best feature for parameterization."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"The best part about the Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is the modularity; when I say modularity, I mean the things get easier by working into different modules."
"The governance process was fully manual before, but Axon helped us configure those processes, giving us more visibility, transparency, and control over the data."
"Replication allows us to fully replicate all objects from Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) to in-house/on-premises database in one job."
"The most valuable features are data quality, data integrate transformations, match-merge, and a few MDM solutions we build into data quality transformation."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"We really like the matching and merging features."
"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 process of categorizing data, creating glossaries, and generating metadata is streamlined and less time-consuming."
"The product is able to utilize the SQL server toolkit and it has tight integration with the SQL server."
"What I like about the Talend MDM Platform is that it's a good vendor diagnostic tool."
 

Cons

"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"The scalability is tough."
"In terms of cost effectiveness, Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is more than 20% costly compared to the industry."
"I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."

"When we updated to version 7.1, there were some workflow issues."
"Profisee could improve in providing clearer data lineage information."
"Some security complexities might add time to the setup."
"A more convenient approach would involve integrating all the pre-existing elements into Profisee itself."
"What's missing in the Talend MDM Platform is that it's not maintaining technology references. For example, my company needs a reference case if the platform has been implemented for a configuration that's similar to the client's required configuration.

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."
"The price is comparable."
"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 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."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"The product is highly-priced."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"The pricing is moderate, falling in the middle range—not excessively low nor overly expensive."
"We didn't come across any additional licensing fees."
"The licensing cost for the Talend MDM Platform is paid yearly, but I'm unable to give you the figure. I would rate its price as four out of five because it's on the cheaper side. I'm not aware of any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for the Talend MDM Platform."
