The user interface is easy to use, and the product performs well, but the dashboard and the monitoring features are limited

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.

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 stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"Development of forms and flows."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"The valuable feature is metadata management. If you want to trace sensitive data, you can auto-classify them. You can search for sensitive information through EDC. Using Discovery, you can identify if there is any type of data set."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"The solution has the best feature for parameterization."
"Offers data lineage feature"
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"The user-friendliness and performance of Informatica is quite impressive."
"The solution's scalability is high."
 

Cons

"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it."
"In terms of data volume processing, Intelligent Cloud Services does not match the efficiency of Power Center."
"In terms of cost effectiveness, Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is more than 20% costly compared to the industry."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The product has a high price point."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
