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 most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management.""We've used the solution for quite some time, so in our organization, the product is pretty mature.""It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance. Everything can be built under one particular umbrella. If any issues come up, then there won't be any blame game saying that it could be an integration issue or an MDM hub issue because it's wholly owned by Informatica. That's the biggest advantage of Informatica MDM over that of any other tools that are available on the market.""The valuable feature is that we can automate the integration part...It is a stable solution.""MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7.""The data quality component is very good.""Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."

More Informatica MDM Pros →

"A great product enrichment tool.""The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness.""The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."

More Informatica PIM Pros →

"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool.""The data quality is very good.""The tool's UI is good and easy to understand.""It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are that is a complete tool and everything can be done inside, including data governance. We are able to model everything according to the needs of the company. If the company needs five people to agree to a change in data, they can do it with TIBCO EBX. They can model it with any particular rules. Additionally, there is dynamic data modeling, simple workflows using the GUI that comes from the server.""The product is extremely flexible.""The initial setup is easy and straightforward.""The API and the data model are very valuable features."

Cons
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old.""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.""New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends. The solution is good, but it definitely needs a lot of improvement and needs to speed up as per the market.""I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required.""The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new.""I feel the out-of-the-box APIs or the API management could be improved slightly from their current state. It could be more user-friendly.""Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities.""The UI is terrible and not user-friendly."

More Informatica MDM Cons →

"They need more feature flexibility, as it is not fully developed.""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."

More Informatica PIM Cons →

"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options.""In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data.""Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better.""We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product.""The initial setup can be a bit complex.""The documentation needs improvement.""The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved.""The design should be easier and more visual."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
  • "It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
  • "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."
  • "Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
  • "There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
  • "It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
  • "Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
  • "Informatica MDM's price could be lower."

  • "We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
  • More Informatica PIM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
  • "TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
  • "This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
  • "The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
  • "TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
