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.

Real-time data has transformed our workflows and delivers faster, more reliable insights
I have multiple favorite features of Tinybird that stand out to me. The first is real-time data processing, which enables timely access to operational and analytical information. Second, we love the SQL-based transformation, which makes data manipulation familiar and accessible to our engineering teams. Third, API development simplifies the exposure of analytical queries as an API for application consumption. Fourth, the data pipelines help us organize ingestion and transformation workflows. Tinybird supports data-intensive applications and growing analytical workloads by reducing the engineering effort involved in building custom analytics features. I really appreciate the combination of SQL-based development and API delivery, which creates a straightforward workflow for the engineering teams.I feel that Tinybird's data governance and data security are on point and compliant with HIPAA and ISO certification guidelines, so there are no challenges on that part. The accuracy and reliability of Tinybird's AI outputs are really great. I have not seen any problems or challenges in the AI outputs; they are pretty good and on point, without any hallucinations so far.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature that allows me to search across the entire organizational database and then look through what objects are in which tables and which locations is quite handy."
"Axon has something called Overlay, which can be used to extend the technical lineage."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are it is cloud-enabled and has all the elements that are supposed to have in terms of MDM as a solution. All the features that are there. It is very well-integrated with any of the SAP and non-SAP applications. It is quite user-friendly. The user experience that you receive in Informatica MDM is quite good."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"There are a couple of valuable features. One is that it is very quick on the profiling. So, you get a very fast snapshot of the type of data that you're looking at from the profiling perspective. It can highlight anomalies in the data."
"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded."
"It has all the advantages of the Cloud in that you can use it without worrying about infrastructure, upkeep, or upgrades, and Informatica is in charge of all those things."
"Tinybird is around two times faster."
"I really appreciate the combination of SQL-based development and API delivery, which creates a straightforward workflow for the engineering teams."
 

Cons

"The user interface of the product needs to be improved"
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work."
"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."
"We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB."
"The tool is quite good overall, but sometimes the number of modules can be overwhelming. If the development interface could be optimized to have fewer modules, it would be greatly beneficial."
"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."
"Tinybird can be improved by simplifying it and having more AI features in the future. It can also be much faster because sometimes it can still be a bit laggy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite flexible."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"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."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
