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.
Humberto Tahara - PeerSpot reviewer
Legacy backup works well with good UI and amazing support
I use it for backup and virtual machines, and the databases are on-premises and in the cloud It's a good solution. It's been in business a long time working with backup. I love it for legacy backup work, I think so. I need more options for virtualization. I know it's good for virtualization, but…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can scan anything."
"I do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset."
"The user interface is flexible and the visibility of the data flow is amazing."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"The MDM solution is capable of integrating multiple systems, so it helped us to solve the purpose of centralizing the depository as well as the standardization of mass data. It takes away all the ambiguity around data integrity issues or all the process challenges which happen when every stage of a process uses a different source as master data."
"The feature of auto-onboarding of the assets, enterprise assets via EDC is good."
"The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"The features I find most valuable in Veritas Data Insight include its exceptional speed in classifying unstructured data and its user risk-scoring functionality."
"Veritas Data Insight has been instrumental in managing and categorizing data across our storage repository. The tool identifies valuable business data and distinguishes it from non-essential data. This capability empowers us to separate and exclude unnecessary data from our long-term retention strategy. Its valuable feature is alert mitigation."
"Data Insight is a good product to do everything. It is kind of transparent to administrators. It is also a very good solution with regards to GDPR compliance and regulations. Veritas is a well-established company, and it has a long legacy. Veritas solutions have expected stability and flexibility. It supports most of the flexible solutions in the market and has support for data protection, data monitoring, and things like that. In these ransomware times, it is a very important company with good solutions."
"It's a good solution."
"I love Veritas support."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Data Insight are the ease of use, one console deployment for the administration, and backups that can be done in minutes. It is a very fast solution."
"The stability has been great."
 

Cons

"The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement."
"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"Enhancements on the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"Exploring the possibility of incorporating AI capabilities that can suggest additional rules would significantly streamline our data analysis process following data profiling."
"I need more options for virtualization."
"Its deployment can be a little bit complex. It should be easier to set up. The ease of use of this solution can also be improved, and it could have a cleaner, up-to-date, and intuitive GUI. There are a lot of competitors out there with much nicer GUI and easier setup. It should have a better connection with the cloud sources and much more monitoring. I would like to have a single management interface for on-premises and cloud deployments so that we don't have to switch between them. Its technical support can also be a little bit better."
"I need more options for virtualization. I know it's good for virtualization, but another product might be easier to work with, like sending to VendCap and Restore."
"Veritas Data Insight can improve the price."
"The nature of both data processing and start processes often involves varying timeframes for retrieval, mainly dependent on the historical data being accessed. When the request involves pulling information from six months or two years ago, the process may take longer."
"The solution is not lacking any features at this time."
"Veritas Data Insight's reporting capabilities require enhancement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"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 pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"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."
"The product has a high price point."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"Licensing is based on the number of users or the usage in terabytes."
"For Veritas Data Insight, the usage is based on a per-terabyte model. The annual cost for this usage is approximately one million dollars. It would be roughly 50,000 dollars to provide a more accurate equivalent."
"It is my understanding that the license with one year of support is, per user, around 25 Euros."
"The price of Veritas Data Insight could improve, it is expensive."
