Featured Reviews

Saikat Ghosh - PeerSpot reviewer
Match and merge functionality is still the best but cloud version needs more functionality
There are various areas for improvement in IDMC. Enhancements on basic data management functionality and the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial. Bulk data management features could be improved from the UI perspective to get to the level of the on prem versions of Informatica MDM. The tool needs to mature but missing small but important features, like restricted dynamic attributes functionality, data inheritance rules in master hierachies, identifiers not being passed in jobs is a drawback.
PS
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

"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"The product is stable."
"We use parts and standardization for most of our testing. We purchase the US Postal Service address database, which is updated periodically. Many useful tools, such as Google Maps, can detect and mark new businesses or changes in business locations. Informatica captures and updates this information. Some periodic maintenance is involved, but setting it up is not overly complicated."
"Seeing the data in the mapping itself is really nice."
"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"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."
"Development is easy on the Ultimus platform."
 

Cons

"I would like to see support for more data sources."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking."
"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."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"Ultimus is not good at handling cash transactions. They should add a mobile application in the next release."
"We are looking for a feature that can resign and move the process from one step to another step."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite flexible."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"It's a costly solution"
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"Ultimus could stand to lower the price. Other tools are cheaper."
