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.
Mohd Imran - PeerSpot reviewer
A master data management tool with easy setup and support
Reltio has two main aspects: one is handled by developers and architects, and Reltio manages the other. Developers and architects are responsible for configuration, developing requirements, and working on the implementation. 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. In cases where attribute values or record counts exceed the standard limits (e.g., more than 20 million records), Reltio support can add additional resources to your tenant. This usually involves extra costs, but it ensures the system remains efficient and scalable. As a developer or architect, you don’t need to manage this process; Reltio support handles scalability and resource allocation.
Chetan Thote - PeerSpot reviewer
A good master data management solution that gives complete functionality control to the user, but lacks in community support resources
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. We would also like to see support added for the mobile MDM, so that the solution can be integrated with handheld and IOS devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
"Offers data lineage feature"
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good."
"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"It's a stable product without any bugs or glitches."
"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."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The most valuable feature is real-time synchronization. You can see the events as soon as they are posted within a couple of fraction seconds."
"Its user interface is different from that of other MDM solutions like Informatica"
"It is very easy to learn. The"
"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."
"We can store the data and enrich it from multiple sources."
"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."
"The cloud feature is very beneficial, and the scalability performance feature is excellent."
"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."
"EBX is cost-effective as it is a web-based application."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"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."
"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."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"The feature I appreciate most about TIBCO EBX is the UI, which is quite simple and user-friendly."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Considering internal data from legacy systems, it is quite difficult to know if Informatica Data Quality meets that high level of accuracy criteria."
"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"They need more feature flexibility, as it is not fully developed."
"Enhancements on the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
"Initially, the UI was limited in features."
"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."
"AI features should be introduced in Reltio more."
"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."
"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."
"Sometimes, the service goes down for maintenance or when we run a lot of jobs so things get pushed to the queue and results don't get delivered on time."
"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."
"The deployment is difficult."
"TIBCO EBX has performance issues, particularly with speed. Replicating data can take several hours even with normal median data."
"One aspect that could be improved in TIBCO EBX is the latency when compared with other tools. This drawback is dependent on the data volume that you have."
"We observe performance issues lately. If we perform any bulk update or use the bulk functionality to update the data, during that time, the index rebuild happens in the back end. The operations team faces issues, including downtime or slowness, and we monitor it, performing any required actions such as restarting applications."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big 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."
"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 initial setup can be a bit complex."
"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"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 is very expensive."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"It's an expensive solution."
Information not available
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"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 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."
"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."
