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.

Provides master data management and has a good UI and support
I was working with Reltio Cloud on a project for a car retail company. This company needed to create a master data repository, a "golden copy," that would consolidate all customer and vehicle information from their various sources. The company had a front-end application in its stores where customers could provide their details and a web page where customers could schedule test drives. All these customer details were captured through different applications and fed into Reltio via real-time and batch processes. My role involved verifying that the ETL processes were working correctly and that the data was being loaded into Reltio properly. I ensured that the MDM was accurate by checking the match and merge rules and that the golden copy of the customer data was correctly created based on these rules. To perform these validations, I used the Reltio UI to log in, sample the golden copies of customer profiles, and confirm that the profiles included all relevant source details and attribute values. I also checked that the attribute values adhered to the survivorship rules established in Reltio.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is flexible and the visibility of the data flow is amazing."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"It is easy to create REST-based interfaces of the master data objects."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"The solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
"MDM doesn't require a separate IDQ."
"The most valuable features for ensuring data accuracy and quality are mappings and creating business rules."
"Profisee's customer service is very responsive, and they have a comprehensive training academy, Profisee Academy, that helps guide the implementation process."
"We really like the matching and merging features."
"The product is able to utilize the SQL server toolkit and it has tight integration with the SQL server."
"The process of categorizing data, creating glossaries, and generating metadata is streamlined and less time-consuming."
"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."
"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."
"The cloud feature is very beneficial, and the scalability performance feature is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."
"Its user interface is different from that of other MDM solutions like Informatica"
"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."
"The survivorship feature is great because we can define it, prioritize the sources, and only allow those sources to survive when making the golden record."
"It is a scalable product, and the scalability is good. We can configure users."
 

Cons

"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"It can be improved in terms of performance and execution. I'm expecting better performance. It currently has some restrictions in terms of execution. For example, if we want to run it in the command mode and execute it, there are some restrictions, and we are facing some issues with a huge volume of data. These restrictions are not there in Informatica PowerCenter because we are able to execute a huge volume of data, and there are more ways to execute it."
"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."
"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"The licenses are too expensive compared to before, which is why customers are now preferring other data metadata management tools like OneTrust, Collibra, and Azure Purview."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"With the solution, we had some issues, and we have every day, and we used to open a ticket. Sometimes, there are data issues and transformation issues."
"When we updated to version 7.1, there were some workflow issues."
"A more convenient approach would involve integrating all the pre-existing elements into Profisee itself."
"Some security complexities might add time to the setup."
"The way training is laid out in their Profisee University, makes it really, really hard to find what you need fast."
"Profisee could improve in providing clearer data lineage information."
"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."
"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."
"The download process can be quite slow"
"AI features should be introduced in Reltio more."
"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."
"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 deployment is difficult."
"Initially, the UI was limited in features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"So, there are plans for licensing. There are subscription-based and usage-based licenses. Also, there are licenses for exceptional analytics, etc. In short, there are different models of licensing for every enterprise."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"The product is highly-priced."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"The pricing is moderate, falling in the middle range—not excessively low nor overly expensive."
"We didn't come across any additional licensing fees."
