"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"It has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms. They're very robust."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"In the latest version, I like the outlay of the business roles creation. I like seeing that visualization as you're building it, as opposed to going through metatables or XML mappings. We liked that piece, and it makes it more intuitive for the business."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are its reliability, match functions, and integration capabilities. The out-of-box functionality of deduplication and built-in data models ensure faster implementation."
"I like the number of options that are presented with Informatica, fuzzy matching, and your screen."
"MDM doesn't require a separate IDQ."
"Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
"A great product enrichment tool."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"We promote our code changes from a lower to a higher environment, which is highly complex when working with a multi-domain MDM like Informatica. This is the biggest obstacle for Informatica MDM, and I think they should change it because that's very time consuming."
"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools."
"Informatica MDM could improve the interdependency with integration. The solution sometimes becomes a bit difficult to change considering a lot of interdependency with the integration. There can be some improvement in the workflows and they can introduce more artificial intelligence."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep."
"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."
"The biggest pain point for us is the documentation. Typically, you have to go through knowledge forums and knowledge groups to find out about the syntax issues for interfacing with new products. Typically, you've got to deal with someone who has been through the pain before. Their documents are not really up to date with current innovations happening in the industry. As big as they are, you can't really expect it, but that's our pain point."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
