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.

Integrates well and helpful support
Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company. We use the data that other tools provide in our implementation. We have developed several processes here in the company, such as requests for change, request development, and buying processes. The tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, the administrator can move the process one step to another without needing to be implemented in the logic of the automation, this can be done from the administration console Or with the integration EIK, there is a wide number of options for the administrator who gives you great flexibility in your administration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"It has good processes and governance."
"The governance process was fully manual before, but Axon helped us configure those processes, giving us more visibility, transparency, and control over the data."
"Most of our customers were using excel and email-based communication for data access, and these new-age solutions improve efficiency ten times or more."
"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."
"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"From a technical point of view, it's a great product."
"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly."
"Development is easy on the Ultimus platform."
"Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company, and the tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, giving great flexibility in administration."
 

Cons

"The major area of improvement is its GUI front end."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough."
"I would rate it a seven out of ten due to lack of inbuilt BAM and BRE features."
"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository."
"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."
"It can be improved in terms of performance and execution. I'm expecting better performance. It currently has some restrictions in terms of execution. For example, if we want to run it in the command mode and execute it, there are some restrictions, and we are facing some issues with a huge volume of data. These restrictions are not there in Informatica PowerCenter because we are able to execute a huge volume of data, and there are more ways to execute it."
"We are looking for a feature that can resign and move the process from one step to another step."
"The tool does not save the reprocessing of the steps, this has to be done with own implementations, stores the whole story of a process instance but in a non-processable format for statistics without doing prior job."
"Ultimus is not good at handling cash transactions. They should add a mobile application in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"We pay for a yearly subscription."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"Ultimus could stand to lower the price. Other tools are cheaper."
