We performed a comparison between Informatica MDM and Talend Open Studio for MDM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Customer Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It has improved our organization because it has made our data more reliable. Data is the most important asset these days, and in order to trust your data, you need these tools to make sure that your data is clean and reliable."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"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 Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"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 has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms. They're very robust."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"The biggest advantage of Talend is that they have an active community. If we face any issue, we can get input in a short duration of time."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"The UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."
"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"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."
"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."
"Informatica's issue is the licensing. Right now, there are a lot of new gen MDMs that are offering a lot in a single licensing model."
"It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly."
