Saikat Ghosh - PeerSpot reviewer
Match and merge functionality is still the best but cloud version needs more functionality
There are various areas for improvement in IDMC. Enhancements on basic data management functionality and the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial. Bulk data management features could be improved from the UI perspective to get to the level of the on prem versions of Informatica MDM. The tool needs to mature but missing small but important features, like restricted dynamic attributes functionality, data inheritance rules in master hierachies, identifiers not being passed in jobs is a drawback.

Provides users with an initial setup phase, which is fairly simple to manage
I don't know what could be improved in terms of what my company was used to previously or after moving over to Rivery. I have not had much experience with platforms other than Rivery. For me, Rivalry was a way to step up from what we used. To be honest, I am not really sure what improvements could be made in Rivery. Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better. I am not aware if there are additional packages for smaller organizations, but if there are no packages available, then maybe that would be a good way to introduce something new in the tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"The solution's technical support is pretty good, especially since the turnaround time is good."
"It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status."
"The Mapping Designer allows for declarative ETL development (visual scripting) that leverages a wide array of different transformations."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bulk upload. We upload files in CSV or Excel format."
"Informatica MDM has a defined data model we can customize with user and developer options."
"The features that I have found most valuable are, first of all, that it comes as part of this whole bundle of Informatica tools. So if you've been implementing Informatica MDM across a business, you'd often find it comes with it. It's been thrown in as a sweetener. The adoption of it is often the challenge because as part of your MDM project, governance is seen as something beyond the MDM and is often restrictive. So this tool actually, for the first time, when you talk to data governance teams, gives a holistic view of what a data governance team can do with this tool."
"MDM doesn't require a separate IDQ."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
"Connects to many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
 

Cons

"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."
"We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"The regions in which the data resides are still limited. This could be an issue in terms of the data residency laws of some of the countries. They should get more regions."
"Lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
"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."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"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."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
