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.
AR
Good for diagnostics, stable, and has a straightforward setup, but lacks technology references
What's missing in the Talend MDM Platform is that it's not maintaining technology references. For example, my company needs a reference case if the platform has been implemented for a configuration that's similar to the client's required configuration. Currently, the client is still reluctant to roll out the Talend MDM Platform at a wider level because there's still no reference received from the Talend team.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset."
"The technical support services are good."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance. Everything can be built under one particular umbrella. If any issues come up, then there won't be any blame game saying that it could be an integration issue or an MDM hub issue because it's wholly owned by Informatica. That's the biggest advantage of Informatica MDM over that of any other tools that are available on the market."
"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"​The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them."
"The valuable feature is that we can automate the integration part...It is a stable solution."
"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"What I like about the Talend MDM Platform is that it's a good vendor diagnostic tool."
 

Cons

"The integration with other data management tools can be enhanced. For instance, there is no integration with tools like Collibra or Hubview."
"Informatica Axon does not provide complete transparency about the level of detailing you need and the logic used in ETL."
"The solution still is a bit manual in its functionality. We want t to be more automation-driven."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep."
"We currently have issues with real-time integration."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"The customer servive and support could be faster. There is a slow turnaround."
"What's missing in the Talend MDM Platform is that it's not maintaining technology references. For example, my company needs a reference case if the platform has been implemented for a configuration that's similar to the client's required configuration. Currently, the client is still reluctant to roll out the Talend MDM Platform at a wider level because there's still no reference received from the Talend team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is comparable."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."
"It's a costly solution"
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"The product is highly-priced."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The licensing cost for the Talend MDM Platform is paid yearly, but I'm unable to give you the figure. I would rate its price as four out of five because it's on the cheaper side. I'm not aware of any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for the Talend MDM Platform."
