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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"The solution is straightforward."
"It has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms. They're very robust."
"It's got a reputation in the industry as one of the best solutions for master data management. So, it's what we see in the Gartner top right quadrant as the best product in that space."
"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"The feature of auto-onboarding of the assets, enterprise assets via EDC is good."
"The scalability of the solution is excellent."
"I do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset."
"A complete project management suite in one integrated package."
"The most valuable feature of SoftExpert BPM is its ease of use."
 

Cons

"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"The initial setup was not very straightforward. Not complex, but not very simple either."
"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities."
"Informatica Axon does not provide complete transparency about the level of detailing you need and the logic used in ETL."
"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"They need more feature flexibility, as it is not fully developed."
"Right now, although they offer some templates, I would want more templates available to be imported."
"It could do more to use all the data it collects to intelligently manage the user experience."
"The form in SoftExpert BPM should improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"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."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"So, there are plans for licensing. There are subscription-based and usage-based licenses. Also, there are licenses for exceptional analytics, etc. In short, there are different models of licensing for every enterprise."
"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"The price of SoftExpert BPM is not expensive."
