Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated
Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.

Helps to ensure security and improves message deliverability
MuleSoft seems to have certain advantages over Spring Edge. Mulesoft covers more use cases, while Spring Edge is lightweight. The use cases mentioned revolve around integration capabilities. It can handle more integration. On the other hand, while offering some plugins for integration, Spring Edge is portrayed as more focused on communication tasks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"Informatica is user-friendly, stable, and scalable. These three aspects are the most valuable for us. If we can make it work well with the CRM, we can continue or try again this year to complete that part of the project. I am confident that this kind of solution is what we need because we have a third-party resource that works in the development."
"The tool helps to ensure security. It helps with notifications and messaging. We have seen improvements in message deliverability."
 

Cons

"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"The product isn't mature enough to provide suitable connectors to various data engines."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"One area that needs to improve is the user experience because it is very complex. The trial version is very complex so it's not easy to start using the program immediately. You must study the rules first."
"I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required."
"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"MuleSoft seems to have certain advantages over Spring Edge. Mulesoft covers more use cases, while Spring Edge is lightweight. The use cases mentioned revolve around integration capabilities. It can handle more integration. On the other hand, while offering some plugins for integration, Spring Edge is portrayed as more focused on communication tasks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica is very expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The product has a high price point."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
"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."
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"It's a very expensive solution"
"Spring Edge's pricing is reasonable."
