Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Has improved data integration speeds and strengthened security through secure authentication
In my experience, the best features Python Connectors offers are easy database connectivity, support for secure authentication, and encryption options. We have used encrypted connections and secure authentication methods, so no plain text credentials have helped us, and we found it effective. We found that Python Connectors is compliance-friendly, very secure, and has no plain text passwords or anything.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is one of the best tools available for data integration."
"Regarding the features, the dashboards related to data quality profiling are the most powerful tool that we are using, and the integration between EDC and the data quality is very important."
"We primarily used Cloud Data Profiling to connect with Cloud Data Governance, a tool also used by Teva. This integration allowed users to access data quality results within the data governance catalog."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It is a scalable product."
"The product is stable."
"The scalability is very high."
"I was responsible for installing Informatica Cloud Data Quality on Google infrastructure, which was straightforward."
"Since we started to use Python Connectors, we found it very reliable, and there are many measurable benefits of this."
 

Cons

"The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep."
"Cost-wise, it could be better."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"Informatica Axon does not provide complete transparency about the level of detailing you need and the logic used in ETL."
"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."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"Python Connectors might get a little less costly, making it a common tool rather than being an expensive or fancy tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an expensive solution."
"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"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 of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
