Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Postal sorting to the best and lowest postal rates."
"It fulfills the USPS requirements for mailings​."
"This software is a must have for my company offerings."
"I particularly value data replication and data sync jobs."
"We primarily used Cloud Data Profiling to connect with Cloud Data Governance, a tool also used by Teva. This integration allowed users to access data quality results within the data governance catalog."
"Single and consistent view of Customer Data arising from a centralized data set with unique customer records."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
"This product is the most agile way to use all of the data capabilities and data services that you need to exploit in your company."
"I do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset."
"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."
 

Cons

"​I use another program for deduping files. I am not comfortable with the way BCC deduping runs when deduping by full name and address.​"
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"One thing to consider is that while Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services already integrates with AI platforms, we need to use these tools rigorously and check all these aspects, including machine learning and analytics. I feel that more work needs to be done on this aspect."
"The UI is extremely complex"
"Improving the speed of data showcasing and filtration would be better, and though we can customize these aspects in Informatica Enterprise Data Lake, there's still room for enhancement."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement."
"An area for improvement would be that the pricing model is not very visible, which makes it hard to understand how much things will cost."
"The initial setup of Informatica MDM is more complex than it should be."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"The solution is expensive."
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
"The solution is very expensive."
"We pay for a yearly subscription."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
