Enhanced data quality with machine learning support in diverse environments
We used Ataccama ONE to read data from the mainframe for a data quality perspective. There's a significant lack in that area with tools being able to interface with mainframe. MetLife has a diverse environment, including DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, legacy, and vSAN files. Being able to work in these various environments and put them to a single data quality tool was very appealing. Additionally, Ataccama supported AI and machine learning, which was one of the features I liked. Furthermore, we were able to interface bidirectionally with Collibra for data governance, catching data quality issues before propagating through the system.

Improved data quality significantly enhances project efficiency and effectiveness
I am not utilizing the data quality rules management part yet. We had a bad experience before Informatica Cloud Data Quality. We started a data analytics project that took more than three months of wasted time because we couldn't use the data to create the optimization model. If we have an application like Informatica Cloud Data Quality or a data quality platform, we can finish the project in less than three months. This is the on-prem data that we ingested. We don't use any cloud data that we have. For now, we are just using the on-prem data, and we don't have any integration from the data outside of the on-prem. I would recommend it to other users. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 9.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The desktop version of the solution was particularly valuable to me, primarily for creating components. We opted for the data quality aspect to assess the quality of our data warehouse. The functionalities available allowed us to not only check data quality but also serve as an ETL tool. This versatility enabled data transformation and storage in various formats, including files on platforms like SharePoint or local online directories. The flexibility of the tool catered to the specific needs of those building components, contributing to our desired outcomes."
"The ease of use of the user console is valuable."
"The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms."
"It is also easy to deploy."
"The drag-and-drop feature is incredibly flexible and straightforward."
"The notable aspect lies in the workflow structure, where building the workflow aligns significantly with data governance."
"Customer service was excellent, and I would give it a ten out of ten."
"The product’s important feature is data profiling and quality check."
"I was responsible for installing Informatica Cloud Data Quality on Google infrastructure, which was straightforward."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The profiling features are much better than the on-premise version."
"Initial setup was fairly easy."
"The quality of the data improves with Informatica Cloud Data Quality."
"An advantage is its seamless integration with other Informatica capabilities, making data quality a deeply embedded part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the rule specification."
"The reusability factors are nice. The Cloud Data Quality is much better. A major flaw in the previous version was integration with the catalog, which is now seamless."
 

Cons

"Data movement is a pain."
"Speaking specifically about the version we use, version 12.3, I'm unsure if this has been addressed in subsequent versions. One improvement I'd like to see pertains to the language used in certain components, especially in data quality checks. The language complexity posed a challenge for beginners. Although we had on-site assistance from Ataccama, making it manageable for us, some individuals found it difficult to comprehend, necessitating additional support. The provision of a comprehensive guide for on-premise installation can also be enhanced. The lack of detailed information on the solution's workings and the overwhelming nature of notifications, with extensive content, were areas of concern. Streamlining the notification content in newer versions would significantly expedite issue resolution."
"Although DQA can fetch data from most of the commonly used data sources, it has limited modifiers to get data, meaning that the number of technologies from which the data can be acquired is limited. For example, DQA does not support fetching data from Twitter or Facebook. Many competitors have this feature."
"The interfacing to tools such as Collibra was somewhat cumbersome and required more thought."
"There is a notable challenge in having to provide detailed filters before the site recognizes the search criteria."
"They could focus more on marketing the product. The current marketing strategy is not working."
"It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data."
"I believe it would be beneficial if it could enhance its flexibility to connect with a wider range of downstream systems beyond just Excel and Postgres."
"You cannot import the data discovery rules you create in the solution to the Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC)."
"In the on-premises version, features like web service consumer and web service provider are available, but these functionalities are currently unavailable in the cloud edition."
"The downside of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is that it requires a developer to write rules and maintain the systems. This creates a significant cost and time burden."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality could improve by adding more algorithms for matching and mastering. We currently only have five or six. Additionally, the parallelism in data is better in other solutions, such as IBM."
"Improving the UI to be more business user-friendly would also be beneficial."
"If given the opportunity, I would like to address these concerns, particularly with regard to enhancing the end-user experience."
"Logical views are a little bit behind in comparison to the on-premise version."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Despite not being extremely low-cost, the pricing appears reasonable, making it a profitable and viable choice for companies that prioritize data security and adhere to specific policies."
"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"Our licensing model wasn't user-specific; instead, we paid fees for the engine and maintenance. As we didn't have a support contract, maintenance fees were likely nonexistent. Regarding the upgrade, we had an account for the initial two or three years, and considering the features provided by the solution, the pricing was reasonable."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"The licensing costs attached to the solution are pretty high, but then, with the cloud model, the prices depend on what it provides for the value of money, which I feel was very high."
"We pay for a yearly subscription."
