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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"It is very useful for testing purposes and designing mappings for small projects."
"I think the most valuable part of Informatica is the flexibility in extending the data model."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration has a strong enterprise customer base and this is one of the main reasons why we choose to work with them."
"It is quite useful and flexible compared to other vendors in terms of cost of implementation and use case."
"Informatica MDM is one of the best in the market in the master data management area."
"The solution scales well."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"The built-in connectors help with quick connectivity to the platforms, and we are using this for both our banking and insurance clients."
"The stability is excellent."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"WSO2 Enterprise Integrator may cost you about twenty-five thousand dollars annually per year compared to IBM Cloud Pak, which would cost you around one million dollars."
"The installation process is easy."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
 

Cons

"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"The initial setup is complex. It isn't easy because it needs a separate server of its own."
"The main issue preventing Brazilian companies from migrating to Informatica Cloud Data Integration from on-prem is the price."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost."
"Error analysis becomes difficult as finding the exact location of the error in the logs is challenging."
"The customer servive and support could be faster. There is a slow turnaround."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"We pay for a yearly subscription."
"Informatica MDM is a costly solution because it comes as a bundle. They are also globally positioning themselves and are definitely working on very upgraded technologies. If someone wanted to do it on the cloud, they have a lot of flexibility because they upgrade themselves according to the current needs. It definitely comes with a lot of features and that's the reason why it's costly. The licensing cost should be approximately one million dollars. It's about four to five times that of other vendors."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"It is a low-cost solution."
