Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

A product that is easy to install and offers good stability to users
The API part of the solution is an area in the solution where improvements are made since I see that TIBCO is currently trying to revamp its tool by focusing more on redesigning it. There was a tool called Mashery, which is an API management tool that was acquired by TIBCO. TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex. I think in the UK, one of the major telecom providers for whom I had done the infrastructure setup uses TIBCO Cloud Integration. Basically, TIBCO Cloud Integration is a bit difficult to install and manage the platform, but I feel there are improvements in the tool's latest version, especially on the API management side. Instead of moving to the higher version and converting the older version of TIBCO Cloud Integration or the legacy platform covered under TIBCO, they still use it because the architecture is completely different, and the components that the product has are completely different from what the new version of the product offers, making it one of the major reasons why TIBCO is coming up with a new version of the product that will be released in the upcoming year. The legacy platform of TIBCO will run on the cloud directly. TIBCO plans to develop a unified tool that is supported on the cloud and in an on-premises environment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is really good."
"Having access to PIM production, we get all the details of the supplier from here and we also get to update the information on the master catalog for urgent tasks."
"Customer service is absolutely brilliant and their on-demand support is really good speaking from a development team perspective."
"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."
"I am impressed by the solution's interface."
"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."
"In the latest version, I like the outlay of the business roles creation. I like seeing that visualization as you're building it, as opposed to going through metatables or XML mappings. We liked that piece, and it makes it more intuitive for the business."
"It is quite useful and flexible compared to other vendors in terms of cost of implementation and use case."
"I like that it is a very good integration tool with many other things; TIBCO is very good for cloud integration."
"The initial setup was straightforward and because we often work with one of the most interesting companies in integration in Italy, what the program offers is absolutely outstanding."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"I am really impressed by TIBCO's integration of any level of complexity."
 

Cons

"I've found that whatever functionalities are available on-prem, can become a bit of a challenge sometimes in the cloud."
"Permissions, scalability, and connection with other informatic tools are the main areas that need development. Integration with other tools, such as IDQ, is challenging. The management of data discovery is highly challenging because many data points have identical definitions."
"Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."
"We experienced several basic issues with the product that required daily meetings with Informatica product specialists."
"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."
"It is an extremely powerful solution, but it is very expensive, even though it only offers adequate functionality."
"The deployment was rather complicated."
"TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"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 an expensive solution."
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"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."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."
"We don't pay for a license."
