Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Informatica MDM has a defined data model we can customize with user and developer options.""It gives you accountability to centralize your data and have it available to different applications.""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 ability to clean out data and improve the data quality is the best feature.""The data quality component is very good.""​The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them.""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 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."

"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.""I really like the data fabric.""The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep."

Cons
"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools.""The UI is terrible and not user-friendly.""From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials.""We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer.""The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement.""New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends.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.""The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects.""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."

"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools.""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.""I do not have notes for improvement."

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."

  • "The licensing fees vary depending on the products that you purchase."
  • "It has one single license, and everything is included in it."
