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.

Query automation has reduced investigation time and frees our team to focus on complex DevOps tasks
The best features Query.ai offers make anything with queries much easier, and it ensures that it is very optimistically correct with whatever it is doing. It also delivers access throughout real-time and historical data, making it really quick and fast to act upon. The real-time and historical data access from Query.ai helps me in my work by allowing me to go through queries quicker, so even if there are errors anywhere, detection happens pretty fast. Because it is on automation and the investigation is done really quickly, it saves a lot of my time. Query.ai has positively impacted my organization by being very appreciative for what it has done and how there is lesser work task on ourselves, and we could be focusing on more things because as DevOps, we have a lot of work. The reduction in workload due to Query.ai has made things easier, especially every time we need to investigate why an SQL query is not loading or if it is duplicating. It is especially effective during access management to either provision or de-provision access for users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."
"I do a quite a lot of data transformations, and the fact that I can do them without changing any of my SQL queries from the code, using the inbuilt tools, is very helpful."
"The most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Integration for our clients are the AI capabilities within Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are its reliability, match functions, and integration capabilities. The out-of-box functionality of deduplication and built-in data models ensure faster implementation."
"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution to others."
"Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services allows us to manage the entire data lifecycle in the insurance domain, supporting microservices architecture and leveraging AI and machine learning for data discovery, quality, and integration."
"Query.ai helps reduce costs and improve security in my organization, though I do not have the actual numbers, but the impact was significant."
"Time saving and accuracy are the main benefits; in my data mart and data lakes project, Query.ai has been very useful, with all transformations automated, which had a huge impact on our entire project."
"Query.ai has positively impacted my organization by being very appreciative for what it has done and how there is lesser work task on ourselves, and we could be focusing on more things because as DevOps, we have a lot of work."
 

Cons

"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used."
"I have a lot of issues with their customer support and not getting the required technical information, which we actually need unless you can do a call with their senior technicians."
"The product interface could be improved to be more intuitive."
"UI application performance was quite disappointing until v9.0.x, but with 9.5 and later versions, they have facelifted the UI."
"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready."
"I felt the pricing is somewhat higher."
"Query.ai performs well, but there are other software options that do auditing a little better."
"Probably Query.ai could be a little more optimized, but it is good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."
"It's a costly solution"
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
