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.

Self-hosted media streaming has become secure and automated, and certificate management is simplified
I think Traefik Enterprise can be improved with native multi-cluster control plane syncing. For example, when using syncing similar to Kubernetes, Traefik Enterprise could also utilize multi-cluster control plane syncing. I believe it could improve some documentation context. Sometimes it supports many dynamic provider environments, but the documentation for each dynamic provider is not comprehensive. I think that can be improved. The dashboard could also be enhanced, such as managing any network operation or providing a toggle for a maintenance page. Those things can be improved in the UI dashboard. Traefik Enterprise can be improved with things such as hard controller defenses for distributed rate limiting, high-capacity log streaming buffering, and implementing some asynchronous configurable non-blocking internal ring buffer mechanisms in log shipping. Additional improvements could include native blue-green canary automation, fragmented CLI engine management, such as using the control plane operation in Kubernetes, open API driver REST endpoints, removing unnecessary maintenance, and separating the operational libraries such as TCTL. Those kinds of small improvements could be made.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"With Informatica technical support has never been a problem; they are fantastic, and if you reach out to them and raise a case, they get onto it very quickly."
"Server maintenance, server hosting, backup, restoration, and DB capabilities are not needed in the cloud."
"The scalability is very high."
"We are able to set rules, establish a data quality management platform, and monitor the quality."
"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"The reusability factors are nice. The Cloud Data Quality is much better. A major flaw in the previous version was integration with the catalog, which is now seamless."
"Traefik Enterprise has helped my e-commerce systems by improving routing stability, cost efficiency, reliability, and measurable performance time."
"Traefik Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by making myself and my colleagues more efficient, allowing us to invest more time in other tasks because we are comfortable knowing how Traefik Enterprise operates and the automation we implemented with it."
"We migrated successfully across all our production environments, and it is working smoothly with very smooth handling of ingresses and traffic."
"Traefik Enterprise brought us an easier way because we faced a problem with Ingress Nginx, we needed another tool which could replace our current stack, we found Traefik easily and discovered how it is installed, and in most cases, it is easy to work with it."
"Traefik Enterprise is helping us tremendously because we do not need to manage multiple service domains."
"Using Traefik Enterprise and Let's Encrypt provides dynamic certificate provisioning, and instead of setting up SSL certificates for 20 or more Docker applications individually, I set up Traefik Enterprise one time and it saved approximately 20 to 30 hours of maintenance per week while also preventing port overlap and managing automatic TLS upgrades from HTTP to HTTPS immediately."
"Traefik Enterprise has a positive impact on my organization mainly by providing visibility and data governance."
"One of the best features that Traefik Enterprise offers, without a doubt, is the advanced control; we are able to have native protection directly at the entry point, with the OWASP Top 10 and the WAF."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more API integration to have the capability to build a report using other third party reporting tools allowing things to be streamlined."
"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"The integration process is not easy."
"Mainly, MDM requires improvement when you need to migrate your version to a later one -- because it is very difficult and takes a lot of time to convert the processes you have already developed and implemented on a previous version, and can cause a need to rework the processes."
"In certain domains, I am looking for material-level match features that are not customizable. The current solution requires code-writing and tweaking, while other solutions offer material-level matches."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
"We promote our code changes from a lower to a higher environment, which is highly complex when working with a multi-domain MDM like Informatica. This is the biggest obstacle for Informatica MDM, and I think they should change it because that's very time consuming."
"In terms of data volume processing, Intelligent Cloud Services does not match the efficiency of Power Center."
"With Traefik, there are a lot of files that should be specified for Traefik. With Nginx, we have one file, which is Ingress Nginx, but with Traefik, there is more than one file you need to configure to work it as well."
"One should be able to just check things straight up from the UI and get to know what kind of issues are there in the solution, and even though such a feature is already there in the tool, there is more work to be done in it."
"I would appreciate improvements to the user interface because it currently appears generic."
"I do not see many points for improvement in Traefik Enterprise at the moment; the only point might be the documentation—making it available in more languages and a bit more friendly for those who are just starting out, because we had some difficulty at the beginning and had to look for some information and courses elsewhere."
"The problem I see today with the middlewares is that they do not add rules."
"I have not seen a return on investment and I am not handling this, so I do not have access to relevant metrics like fewer employees needed or money saved."
"I think Traefik Enterprise can be improved with native multi-cluster control plane syncing."
"Overall, my experience with Traefik Enterprise was positive, but I think the learning curve could be improved, especially for new users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is something that can be improved."
"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"I would say that Traefik Enterprise is cheaper than the other alternatives in the market."
