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.

It has a good architecture and it's easy to maintain
We work with various clients and use Hybris for selling different kinds of products, including merchandise, electronics, ticket reservations, electronics, and food Hybris is stable and has good architecture. It's easy to maintain.  They can change their backend because it's a little hard to work…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easier to use compared to the other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon has been the data marketplace."
"Axon does one interesting thing that I don't think other tools do as well. It lets you rate data and incorporates Informatica's data quality feature into it. There are little indications and graphics that show you how good the data quality is, and you can drill into it to see where potential issues lie."
"The solution offers good data governance."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"The advanced features like task flow and conditional integration are particularly useful."
"We have a lot of integrations, and it's very easy to create integrations. They have a lot of connectors."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"Hybris is stable and has good architecture. It's easy to maintain."
 

Cons

"Its pricing model can be improved. The response time from technical support can also be improved."
"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."
"The price modeling could be more flexible."
"Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"They need more feature flexibility, as it is not fully developed."
"Data integration should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the Data Marketplace aspect."
"They can change their backend because it's a little hard to work with. They could streamline it with new technology."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a costly solution"
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"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 an expensive solution."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"It's a very expensive solution"

I was part of evaluating several vendors for MDM program at my company and after technically evaluating each of them, Informatica was the choice. It doesn't make sense to build one as the tools available in the market are sufficient to satisfy the needs of MDM program. please let me know if you need help with vendor evaluation, RFP, implementation strategy etc..
