We performed a comparison between Informatica MDM and Oracle Data Relationship Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, TIBCO, Profisee and others in Cloud Master Data Management (MDM) Solutions."The scalability of the solution is excellent."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded."
"It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status."
"The ability to clean out data and improve the data quality is the best feature."
"I think the integration feature is probably one of the key features in Informatica MDM...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them."
"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to use JavaScript in formulas."
"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools."
"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."
"New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends.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."
"We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer."
"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."
"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."

I cannot offer insight into the licensing policy of each vendor as they are very varied and indeed can change deal to deal. Oracle for instance might give you limited database license if you use it specifically for MDM - but will audit you and bill you for full use even if you add one custom table! What it also means is that if are going with the big ones - you can negotiate!!
I can, however, help you with key MDM requirements as defined by Gartner.
-Workflow/BPM,
-Loading/synchronization/business services/integration (which is basically ETL) - but it gives you the ability to implement in different styles - centralized, registry, co-existence, consolidation
-Information quality, semantic consistency : this is for DQ capability and survivorship
-data modeling - strength based on metadata management, policy enforcement, dating and versioning
-Stewardship support (such as 360 degree view, where used, decay analysis, ownership)
-Governance (a combination of a lot of the above really)
-multiple use cases (Operational and analytical) - here you can use ERP/PLM/CRM as operational examples and APS and DWH as analytical use cases.
- multi domain (product, customer, supplier, account, HR, location, person) - Tricky, as many vendors including Oracle claim to be multi domain - but they do not use a single framework to manage multiple domains - that is really not multi domain because the CDO's office still needs to manage multiple frameworks and the cost of ownership is very high.
- data quality dashboards
- Task management (Advanced)
- multi device support
