Access data seamlessly with robust community support without current improvement needs
So far, I could say that Apollo GraphOS is quite comprehensive, there’s room for improvement in schema collaboration tools, especially in large teams where multiple developers are working on overlapping parts of the API. More granular access control and role-based visibility within the platform would help enterprise teams better manage who can change what. Enhanced support for real-time use cases (e.g., subscriptions at scale) could also take it to the next level and give a better developer experience These might also be beneficial to have a more in-depth analytics around client usage and field-level insights to drive better decisions around deprecation or optimization.

Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Cons

"There’s room for improvement in schema collaboration tools, especially in large teams where multiple developers are working on overlapping parts of the API."
"Apollo GraphOS OS is using a detailed project, and it can be time-consuming because it has a lot of data to manage."
"Apollo GraphOS OS is using a detailed project, and it can be time-consuming because it has a lot of data to manage. It sometimes takes longer than three seconds, which can affect loading times and lead to user dissatisfaction. I would like to see improved performance."
"It can be improved in terms of performance and execution. I'm expecting better performance."
"The product is not too user-friendly to do the configurations."

"You cannot import the data discovery rules you create in the solution to the Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC)."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product has a high price point."
"We got a 50% discount."
"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."
"The price is comparable."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
