John Posthuma - PeerSpot reviewer
Strong integration and synchronization capabilities with saving time
Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub is a real integration tool that offers powerful and helpful features. It has data synchronization capabilities, and I have noted that it provides a benefit for all my integration needs. Additionally, there are notable benefits in terms of time savings, money savings, and resource savings for me.

Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub is a real integration tool that offers powerful and helpful features."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it seems to be more of a drag and drop interface."
"The most valuable features of Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub are the ability to do data integrations, APM Management, MDM, and data catalog."
"The most valuable feature is that it's very easy to develop the processes and we have been using it for a long time. At that time, no other tool was available, and it was the best product. When we first got it, I don't think it was a Dell product back then. We upgraded to the cloud last year. Today, it's still the best because it's very user-friendly, and the user interface is also very user-friendly. We can easily develop the processes quickly."
"We use the administrator to create different interfaces. We developed APIs for specific applications like data validation between systems. We have our own product and base it on the Boomi interfaces that generate this type of data validation."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"The solution's scalability is high."
"The Mapping Designer allows for declarative ETL development (visual scripting) that leverages a wide array of different transformations."
"In the latest version, I like the outlay of the business roles creation. I like seeing that visualization as you're building it, as opposed to going through metatables or XML mappings. We liked that piece, and it makes it more intuitive for the business."
"​The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
 

Cons

"There could be improvements in integrating more features with Microsoft Azure."
"Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub could improve by having a ChatGPT AI tool to solve problems and develop quicker."
"The price could be better. It would also be better if they stopped changing the icons every six months. Whenever they change it, users have to adapt to them again."
"The reporting needs to be improved to help get more KPIs in the longterm. Now, the system keeps only three months."
"We have problems in some scenarios where there are messages in the queue and would require some support."
"Permissions, scalability, and connection with other informatic tools are the main areas that need development. Integration with other tools, such as IDQ, is challenging. The management of data discovery is highly challenging because many data points have identical definitions."
"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."
"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used. Each customer purchases a certain amount of IPUs per month, but you can use more or less than that defined quantity. The only problem is if you don't use the all your IPUs, they don't carry over into the next month. I think customers should have the ability to transfer unused IPUs into the next month or year. This improvement could help give customers more flexibility, especially since cloud solutions need flexibility in how we use and pay for them."
"Enhancements on the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"Informatica's support understands the solution, but they lack the experience we need for our use case. That was one thing that we prioritized when we started searching for this kind of solution."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a monthly subscription, which is $550 per month."
"The price could be better. In the current market, it's expensive but worth it."
"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
"The product is very expensive"
"The solution is very expensive."
"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"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."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
