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.

Consulting team maximizes cloud features while seeking workflow improvements
We are quite satisfied with the solution. The only issue we face is with the workflow feature. Every time we need to deploy our workflows, we must contact the Reltio Support Center. We have to rely on their availability and write to them to receive the required JAR files. They are slow to respond to these requests.

Improved workflow collaboration and data flexibility enhance team efficiency, but performance and logout issues require attention
Regarding improvements or enhancements in TIBCO EBX, when it comes to 5.8 to 5.9, there was a really good feature added, which is the hyperlink. When you click on a table, you navigate to deeper tables. If there is a table with ten fields, those ten fields are taken from a second table and interrelated to a third table, you can keep clicking on each field and go deeper and deeper. To come each level above, there is a hyperlink created on the top. You just need to click on the hyperlink and keep navigating back, similar to certain websites. However, there were some drawbacks I noticed with the latest version 6, particularly in terms of performance, where in a few cases, the performance was impacted, necessitating work to get things sorted. Additionally, the logout from the application happened randomly or sometimes it wasn't logging out, which is a compliance issue since users expect to log out after a certain time. Version 6 introduced a strong filtration logic. All EBX versions have a separate section for filters that offer text search and advanced search options. In EBX 6, they enhanced the search feature deeply, including conjunctions and, or, else, allowing you to create your own logic for how you need the filter to work. They also introduced a top-level search feature, where you enter some text, and it searches the entire table. With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues. We dropped the plan to switch to EBX 6 due to other technical limitations on our side. Those were a few pending items we had raised to them, and they were working on resolving them. From a usage point of view, those were the main concerns, but they introduced a good idea about the side panel. The pagination concept was introduced to navigate among different domains, and in the left panel, you have search capabilities and pagination functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are gaining our customers' confidence, and they rely on us for data classification."
"I have rated the stability a ten out of ten due to a high level of satisfaction."
"I like the number of options that are presented with Informatica, fuzzy matching, and your screen."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution to others."
"The process of using the tool's scalability option is well documented."
"For the kind of application we have built and run on this tool, it has been very stable and has given consistent performance."
"Informatica MDM's most valuable feature is the interconnection between multiple Master Data domains."
"The solution offers good data governance."
"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."
"We can store the data and enrich it from multiple sources."
"Reltio Cloud has positively impacted my organization because we were able to promote our data and sell data to our customers."
"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."
"Reltio Cloud has positively impacted my organization by reducing the amount of manual effort needed and making it easy to manage downstream systems."
"The matching feature of Reltio Cloud is highly effective compared to many other tools available. Additionally, it is almost ready to use out-of-the-box, reducing the implementation time."
"The survivorship feature is great because we can define it, prioritize the sources, and only allow those sources to survive when making the golden record."
"There are default limitations and considerations. For instance, Reltio can store a maximum of 200 values for a single attribute. If your data exceeds this limit, you can request Reltio support to increase the limit. However, be aware that increasing this limit may impact performance, potentially slowing down data loading times."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"The feature I appreciate most about TIBCO EBX is the UI, which is quite simple and user-friendly."
"What I find best about TIBCO EBX is its workflow modeling capabilities, which are very good for a master data management tool."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are that is a complete tool and everything can be done inside, including data governance. We are able to model everything according to the needs of the company. If the company needs five people to agree to a change in data, they can do it with TIBCO EBX. They can model it with any particular rules. Additionally, there is dynamic data modeling, simple workflows using the GUI that comes from the server."
"We decided to switch to TIBCO EBX because we can organize the data, and it helps manage this data for an accurate and consistent view of the physical business data."
"EBX is cost-effective as it is a web-based application."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
 

Cons

"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities."
"The downside of this solution is that the UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer."
"The user interface of the product needs to be improved"
"The ability of the product to leverage the power of big data could be improved."
"I remember when I used it, there was some limitation in one of the data quality dimensions. I was not able to perform certain tasks on the cloud version, even though I could do them on the data center version."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."
"AI features should be introduced in Reltio more."
"There is some lag in developing new features for specific business requirements. If a new feature is needed, we have to raise a request in the developer portal through the IDEA portal. This process takes time to develop, which can be a drawback when immediate business needs arise."
"Reltio Cloud could be improved in two specific areas. Firstly, the API capability needs to be enhanced, as when utilizing the REST API and posting a significant amount of data, there are multiple rejections from the MDM side. This can be due to the MDM server not responding or being unable to process the request. Therefore, I suggest that the API capacity should be increased to handle larger amounts of data. Additionally, I have noticed that the response time from the servers can take up to a minute or a few seconds, which can be improved for a faster response time."
"The download process can be quite slow"
"Reltio Cloud can be improved by providing the possibility to connect with other connectors and databases such as Snowflake, Databricks, and eventually with Azure Data Factory."
"The support team is slow to respond when we need assistance with workflow deployments. We must rely on their availability and contact them to receive the required JAR files."
"Initially, the UI was limited in features."
"We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product."
"TIBCO EBX has performance issues, particularly with speed. Replicating data can take several hours even with normal median data."
"With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues."
"The performance could be better; we're not 100% happy with it at this time."
"We would like to see the community and documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"With complex data models or when there are more records and association tables, the system experiences noticeable slowness in loading records."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
 

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."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
Information not available
"The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
