Featured Reviews

Raj Sethupathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated
Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.
MarkDoherty - PeerSpot reviewer
Fastest to get up and running and fewer idiosyncrasies than competitors
In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them. But as a product, it's very difficult to find any major faults.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A great product enrichment tool."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
"The scalability is very high."
"The ability to clean out data and improve the data quality is the best feature."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"The scalability is very good. That was a key factor in the selection, like how it could be pushed to high volume and scalability, which seemed to be very good."
"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"It is a good product for API management."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function."
"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
 

Cons

"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"The only thing that I can imagine that might be improved is how the available transactions verify addresses used. These transactions have a valid end date and must be used within the agreed timeframe."
"The product interface could be improved to be more intuitive."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
"It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
"We ran it for a while, but then we decided to move away from Tyk, because Tyk's cloud version, the SaaS version, has a significant limitation of limited flexibility, so you can't program very much."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"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."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"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."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"The cost curve is far smoother, both in terms of volume and the number of calls it's running on, compared to most competitors. So it's a tad more expensive at the very low end, but the curve is nothing like Apigee or some of the others."
"There are different versions and plans available depending on the requirements, so there is flexibility in terms of the pricing."
"It had a free version, which suited many of our needs, but not all, but we were happy to go ahead with the licensed version as well, which is the paid version."
"The price is low compared to other products of a similar type."
"We are using the open-source version of this product, so there are no licensing costs for its use."
