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 data fabric and a straightforward setup with the ability to extend
I really like the data fabric. In my data fabric, we have a component related to cloud computing that is quite useful. The data fabric has improved over the previous version. The user interface is fine. There are good integrations possible with the product. The initial setup is very straightforward. It is a scalable product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"I like the number of options that are presented with Informatica, fuzzy matching, and your screen."
"It has flexibility in extending the data model."
"The Mapping Designer allows for declarative ETL development (visual scripting) that leverages a wide array of different transformations."
"Axon does one interesting thing that I don't think other tools do as well. It lets you rate data and incorporates Informatica's data quality feature into it. There are little indications and graphics that show you how good the data quality is, and you can drill into it to see where potential issues lie."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The product is able to utilize the SQL server toolkit and it has tight integration with the SQL server."
"We really like the matching and merging features."
"Profisee's customer service is very responsive, and they have a comprehensive training academy, Profisee Academy, that helps guide the implementation process."
"The most valuable features for ensuring data accuracy and quality are mappings and creating business rules."
"The process of categorizing data, creating glossaries, and generating metadata is streamlined and less time-consuming."
"I really like the data fabric."
"The biggest advantage of Talend is that they have an active community. If we face any issue, we can get input in a short duration of time."
"The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep."
 

Cons

"The customer servive and support could be faster. There is a slow turnaround."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."
"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."
"When we updated to version 7.1, there were some workflow issues."
"Some security complexities might add time to the setup."
"Profisee could improve in providing clearer data lineage information."
"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools."
"I do not have notes for improvement."
"It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"It's an expensive solution."
"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"So, there are plans for licensing. There are subscription-based and usage-based licenses. Also, there are licenses for exceptional analytics, etc. In short, there are different models of licensing for every enterprise."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"The product is very expensive"
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"We didn't come across any additional licensing fees."
"The pricing is moderate, falling in the middle range—not excessively low nor overly expensive."
"It has one single license, and everything is included in it."
"The licensing fees vary depending on the products that you purchase."
