Featured Reviews

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.
Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."
"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."
"The solution is stable."
"The interface has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"It is simple to transfer files."

Cons

"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository. Business rules for the attributes that you have, keeping them in that central repository, and governance of them is something which Axon is lacking a bit. The Informatica Data Quality tool actually caters to that, so that's probably why they have not built that up in the Axon, but it is definitely something that can be built in to this product, as well."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"The user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"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."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"It's a very expensive solution"
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"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."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
