SentinelOne Singularity Complete cuts costs by boosting productivity, preventing threats, and reducing ransomware risks, offering quick ROI.
We see return on investment from this solution in terms of time; time reduction or cost benefits is what we are getting very good results from.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.9
Informatica's customer service is praised for quick, knowledgeable support, though response times can vary with customization and membership levels.
Sentiment score
7.2
SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers quick, knowledgeable support with remote sessions, though some desire faster, interactive phone or chat options.
Due to the tool's maturity limitations, solutions are not always simple and often require workarounds.
The response time is pretty good because we have someone in-house, who is an expert from Informatica, in our team who can help us with any sort of queries usually.
If they are unsure how to resolve an issue, they keep customers informed, providing updates about progress and ensuring communication with the product team to deliver accurate responses.
They do a great job of figuring out the problem and pointing you to generic documentation or working with you to fine-tune a solution.
We are using the automated email process for support, and they respond within an hour or two hours sometimes.
A chat service would be beneficial.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Informatica IDMC delivers scalable, flexible data management across cloud and on-premise environments, accommodating diverse enterprise needs efficiently.
Sentiment score
8.0
SentinelOne Singularity Complete scales efficiently, smoothly handling deployments, adding agents, and supporting growth across diverse IT infrastructures.
As a SaaS platform, IDMC is quite scalable and provides complete flexibility.
I find Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) to be a sustainable and scalable solution.
It's all auto-scale and auto-categorized, configuring automatically.
The tool's built-in automation for deploying the agents works well for large infrastructures like mine.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is very scalable.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Informatica Cloud is highly rated for stability, despite occasional issues; support effectively resolves any reported bugs.
Sentiment score
7.8
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is praised for stability, performance, and proactive updates, despite occasional third-party software conflicts.
Stability is crucial because IDMC holds business-critical data, and it needs to be available all the time for business users.
It has caused problems with interoperability between third-party tools, which could lead to entire servers crashing or specific tools failing.
This indicates room for improvement in stability when interacting with other solutions.
Initially, there were issues, particularly on the management side, but now the console is much more stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Informatica IDMC requires improvements in integration, user interface, performance, support consistency, connectivity, automation, data tagging, and pricing.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete requires UI, integration, resource efficiency, and pricing improvements, with enhanced support and deployment processes.
The tool needs to mature in terms of category-specific attributes or dynamic attributes.
I also want to see integration with other Informatica products, such as IICS, to leverage the metadata from EDC.
The licenses are too expensive compared to before, which is why customers are now preferring other data metadata management tools like OneTrust, Collibra, and Azure Purview.
The only thing that prevented the attack from succeeding was a free version of Malwarebytes.
Providing a single pane of visibility for the end user would be beneficial.
It's challenging to prevent a user from manipulating their privileges or someone else's of others, and it's difficult to control what users can access at the organizational level.
 

Setup Cost

Informatica IDMC, a costly solution for large enterprises, offers extensive features and flexibility, justifying its premium pricing.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete provides cost-effective endpoint security, with competitive pricing justified by its comprehensive and flexible features.
It ranges from a quarter million to a couple of million a year.
The licenses are too expensive compared to before, which is why customers are now preferring other data metadata management tools like OneTrust, Collibra, and Azure Purview.
I think the costs are reasonable for the kinds of features that Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) has.
If you want protection, you have to pay the price.
There are other products that are less expensive, but I tell my clients that in security, they cannot cut corners or look for the cheapest solution.
Reputation and quality are important, but especially in today’s economy, price is a significant factor.
 

Valuable Features

Informatica IDMC excels in data management with strong integration, AI-driven analytics, and a flexible user interface.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is lauded for AI threat detection, automation, user-friendly interface, and efficient endpoint security without cloud reliance.
The platform's ability to pull in data from other platforms without the need for an additional integration tool enhances its appeal.
Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) can connect to pretty much any application, including Oracle Analytics and Power BI, and it works quite seamlessly.
In on-premise, we call it EDC for metadata management, while in cloud-based technologies, it is known as the Metadata Command Center, which serves the same purpose as EDC concerning CDGC.
I have an advanced app providing visibility of all my endpoints, which was not the case before.
SentinelOne has a feature to decommission automatically, which has been fantastic.
There's also automation that gives my team free time, preventing them from having to look for every alert.

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.
Daniel Giacomelli - PeerSpot reviewer
Strengthens cross-platform threat response while supporting audit compliance and log integration
The analytics and reporting can be a bit overwhelming. I love the dashboards, but I find that I need to better understand PowerQuery—specifically when to turn it on and off and its limitations. It's similar to SharePoint in that regard. As a former SharePoint instructor, I know it like the back of my hand. The best thing about SharePoint is that it can do whatever you want; the worst part is also that it can do whatever you want. You really need to know what you want before diving in. Most people usually have a good idea of what they need. SharePoint offers a lot out of the box, but you can customize it further if you wish. However, customization often requires hiring someone, which can be risky since you never know if it will work as intended. On the other hand, PowerQuery can help bridge some of those gaps within Singularity. The challenge arises when you want to incorporate what you've done into dashboards and charts, as there are limitations. For instance, I want more clickable drill-down options that allow me to filter on specific sections of the data, but that's currently not possible. It’s not to say that improvements won’t come in the future; it's just that it feels a bit early at this stage. Additionally, I find some navigation features frustrating, like the back button in certain contexts. For example, if you open PowerQuery from a chart, it doesn't open in a new window or tab. Clicking the back button takes you all the way back to the previous state, causing you to lose whatever progress you made. However, I'm actively providing this feedback to my partner, Pro Circular, through whom we access SentinelOne. They take our input seriously, and I've been sharing my observations. They have their own views but are addressing the issues I raise. It's good to see that suggestions occasionally lead to updates and improvements.
