SaurabhGaonshindhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.
Mohd Imran - PeerSpot reviewer
A master data management tool with easy setup and support
Reltio has two main aspects: one is handled by developers and architects, and Reltio manages the other. Developers and architects are responsible for configuration, developing requirements, and working on the implementation. There are default limitations and considerations. For instance, Reltio can store a maximum of 200 values for a single attribute. If your data exceeds this limit, you can request Reltio support to increase the limit. However, be aware that increasing this limit may impact performance, potentially slowing down data loading times. In cases where attribute values or record counts exceed the standard limits (e.g., more than 20 million records), Reltio support can add additional resources to your tenant. This usually involves extra costs, but it ensures the system remains efficient and scalable. As a developer or architect, you don’t need to manage this process; Reltio support handles scalability and resource allocation.
Chetan Thote - PeerSpot reviewer
A good master data management solution that gives complete functionality control to the user, but lacks in community support resources
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. We would also like to see support added for the mobile MDM, so that the solution can be integrated with handheld and IOS devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"Axon has something called Overlay, which can be used to extend the technical lineage."
"There are a couple of valuable features. One is that it is very quick on the profiling. So, you get a very fast snapshot of the type of data that you're looking at from the profiling perspective. It can highlight anomalies in the data."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"The solution provides increased efficiency while still being user-friendly and easy to operate."
"It is a scalable product, and the scalability is good. We can configure users."
"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."
"The most valuable feature is real-time synchronization. You can see the events as soon as they are posted within a couple of fraction seconds."
"The matching feature of Reltio Cloud is highly effective compared to many other tools available. Additionally, it is almost ready to use out-of-the-box, reducing the implementation time."
"It is very easy to learn. The"
"The cloud feature is very beneficial, and the scalability performance feature is excellent."
"We can store the data and enrich it from multiple sources."
"There are default limitations and considerations. For instance, Reltio can store a maximum of 200 values for a single attribute. If your data exceeds this limit, you can request Reltio support to increase the limit. However, be aware that increasing this limit may impact performance, potentially slowing down data loading times."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"EBX is cost-effective as it is a web-based application."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"TIBCO EBX saves a lot of time and gives considerable flexibility to business users who might not be completely technical but can work on it in specific areas."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The feature I appreciate most about TIBCO EBX is the UI, which is quite simple and user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The pricing model is problematic."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository. Business rules for the attributes that you have, keeping them in that central repository, and governance of them is something which Axon is lacking a bit. The Informatica Data Quality tool actually caters to that, so that's probably why they have not built that up in the Axon, but it is definitely something that can be built in to this product, as well."
"Its pricing model can be improved. The response time from technical support can also be improved."
"Reltio Cloud could be improved in two specific areas. Firstly, the API capability needs to be enhanced, as when utilizing the REST API and posting a significant amount of data, there are multiple rejections from the MDM side. This can be due to the MDM server not responding or being unable to process the request. Therefore, I suggest that the API capacity should be increased to handle larger amounts of data. Additionally, I have noticed that the response time from the servers can take up to a minute or a few seconds, which can be improved for a faster response time."
"There is some lag in developing new features for specific business requirements. If a new feature is needed, we have to raise a request in the developer portal through the IDEA portal. This process takes time to develop, which can be a drawback when immediate business needs arise."
"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."
"The deployment is difficult."
"Initially, the UI was limited in features."
"The support team is slow to respond when we need assistance with workflow deployments. We must rely on their availability and contact them to receive the required JAR files."
"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."
"Sometimes, the service goes down for maintenance or when we run a lot of jobs so things get pushed to the queue and results don't get delivered on time."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"One aspect that could be improved in TIBCO EBX is the latency when compared with other tools. This drawback is dependent on the data volume that you have."
"Marketing could be improved, as EBX wasn't well-presented in Turkey."
"One aspect that could be improved in TIBCO EBX is the latency when compared with other tools. This drawback is dependent on the data volume that you have."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"The product is very expensive"
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"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."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
Information not available
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"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."
"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."
