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.

Trust and reliability have been established with long-term usage and significant integration benefits

TIBCO Cloud API Management offers API management plus the ability to orchestrate all inbound and outbound API calls. When an API is exposed to the external system, it functions as a single integration. Behind the scenes, you can perform extensive API modeling, aggregation, and downstream systems can have more than one API and give the response back to a single API call. It has many features such as orchestration rule engine, which makes it quite good. TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support. Sales and support are strong areas, and I think it is very good. If they do not get the right support, then they should consider other options. The sales and support also provides cost optimization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."

"The most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Integration for our clients are the AI capabilities within Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services."

"We have a lot of integrations, and it's very easy to create integrations. They have a lot of connectors."

"The way that the solution scans is very useful."

"The ability to aggregate and put together data from around fifty sources into one environment allows us to have a preview of everything in a single place, which is something we did not have previously in our company."

"Informatica provides a comprehensive solution for on-the-fly or real-time data masking."

"The match and merge functionality is invaluable for discovering golden master data records."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."

"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."

"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."

"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."

"TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support."

"It has something called packages. In that way, it's good because we have some pre-built packages. So, if you want to onboard different APIs, we can just add them to the package, and it's there."

"Very few outages or SLA issues."

"When we did the product evaluation, we saw that TIBCO Mashery offers end-to-end API life cycle management. It provides all API features that are required for managing the complete life cycle. It includes the developer portal and tools for API monitorization. The out-of-box security features that TIBCO Mashery provides are enterprise-grade, which gives it an edge over other API products."

Cons

"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."

"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."

"Data integration should be improved."

"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."

"The UI is terrible and not user-friendly."

"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."

"Informatica Axon does not provide complete transparency about the level of detailing you need and the logic used in ETL."

"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either."

"There are some areas for improvement in TIBCO Cloud API Management, especially regarding network protocols such as SMPP, SMTP, GVI, SVI, and Diameter which could show performance issues in terms of handling and connection management pooling efficiency."

"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."

"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."

"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."

"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."

"The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues."

"The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor."

More TIBCO Cloud API Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very expensive."

"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."

"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."

"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."

"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."

"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."

"It's a costly solution"

"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pricing and cost advice

"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."

"Licensing is quite flexible."

"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."

"Its price is pretty reasonable. There are some lightweight API options available in the market, but given the feature set that TIBCO provides, its price is really reasonable."
