I have worked on Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud [Private Offer Only] CDI, Data Integration services, and I was closely working in data governance and data quality services as well.I have used the data cataloging feature within CDGC, which is a service in IDMC where we can have the cataloging feature. Using MCC Metadata Command Center, we can extract or harvest the metadata from respective sources and then view it in CDGC.
The major use cases I have dealt with are customer, vendor, and mostly product data. Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud [Private Offer Only] is majorly focused towards these domains because they provide few tables and objects already created. Then later we can enhance them and create a certain number of our own objects as well. However, it is not like a multi-ERP system which was available in the on-premises version, where we could create anything however we liked. Over here, it is more towards business entities, which are enhanceable and we can create a certain number of things. Still, the earlier on-premises version allowed us to use a third party to connect between two different domains. Here, that particular thing is already there with 360 view. However, when it comes to other domains, such as retail or reference or anything else which is not directly given by Informatica, that becomes a slightly workaround situation, not an out-of-the-box situation. They are leading in multiple different parts because they are one of the MDM providers which have been in the industry for a very long time. Other than Stibo, SAP MDM, IBM MDM, Talend MDM, or Ataccama, they have an edge from the bugs and market requirements. They have a huge number of customers who give feedback when they are not able to process something in a direct way. They are able to prioritize a certain number of things according to customers' needs. When multiple customers ask for the same thing, they are able to prioritize it faster. Because they have more reach, that is the biggest leverage what they have from the market, and this is actually being used as a positive leverage by Informatica. The tool is stable. You can create it over AWS, Azure without any issues. It is scalable because the entire thing is on Informatica with the scalability and everything. Maintenance is also a significant advantage. Whether it is a hotfix, upgrade version, or anything else, you are just paying for the license and the entire upgrading process remains on Informatica. They upgrade when they have a stable, updated version, which is good. Informatica agent can be installed in either way. You can go on the on-premises way, hybrid way, or put the Informatica agent towards the Informatica servers as well. So you can directly use it in any of those three directions. I have used it in a hybrid scenario because I have used hybrid and on-premises a lot since my projects were mostly towards financial and manufacturing. Manufacturing companies were already having AWS and Azure cloud structures, so they said, "We already have that structure. We do not want this to go to Informatica. We will manage it ourselves." Financial institutions were more focused on not pushing their data into the cloud for any kind of compliance or processing calculations. So they went with the premises version. It is a wholesome product.
