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.

Useful to encrypt sensitive data or crown jewel data stored in various places within organizations
One of the most valuable features is the solution's integration with many leading industry solutions, both on-premises and cloud-based. It has API integration with a large number of technologies. The key management capability supports security protocols by providing an additional layer of security by separating duties. It's more secure to store encryption keys in a separate system like Thales rather than locally. If a database is compromised, the keys in Thales remain protected, making it harder for attackers to access the information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are data quality, data integrate transformations, match-merge, and a few MDM solutions we build into data quality transformation."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"MDM doesn't require a separate IDQ."
"The product is stable."
"It's helpful in integration, and it can be moved around in SharePoint. So, from the SharePoint View, data integration and reporting, it help a lot in that way."
"Informatica Data Quality is a product that is worth the money."
"The advanced features like task flow and conditional integration are particularly useful."
"The solution has the best feature for parameterization."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's integration with many leading industry solutions, both on-premises and cloud-based. It has API integration with a large number of technologies."
"Transfer encryption is a great feature of Crypto Suite."
 

Cons

"The product is not too user-friendly to do the configurations."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"The licenses are too expensive compared to before, which is why customers are now preferring other data metadata management tools like OneTrust, Collibra, and Azure Purview."
"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."
"Enhancements on the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial."
"The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep."
"Some feature sets could be improved, particularly alerting, reporting, and monitoring capabilities."
"Could be more agent-led with options for simplifying implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"We got a 50% discount."
"The price is comparable."
"Informatica is very expensive."
