Rav Bangalore - PeerSpot reviewer
GenAI Strategist at Wipro Limited
Unifying separate data systems for AI enablement and ensuring data security
One challenge we face is the effort required in data preparation before using MDM capabilities. A feature to facilitate data preparedness, such as data cleansing and template suggestions to minimize effort by stakeholders, would be helpful. Enterprises today have scattered data, and unifying this data with ease would be beneficial.
Divya-Raj - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr. Consultant cum Assistant Manager & Offshore Lead at Deloitte
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 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."
"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 of this solution is that it seems to be more of a drag and drop interface."
"Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub is a real integration tool that offers powerful and helpful features."
"Boomi AtomSphere Master Data Hub offers features like unified data models, data security, and compliance, and we have tested data models that enable us to train LLM models for specific use cases."
"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."
"New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"The product is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services for me is the availability of connectors."
"The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."
"The most beneficial feature of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is it's cloud-based."
 

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."
"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"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."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
"The setup is complex."
"The configurations could be better. It is a bit confusing because we must develop two tools when building a data model in Informatica MDM. Even though Informatica MDM is a single tool, we have our hub console plus the provisioning tool within that. Whatever data model we are building in the hub console, we have to develop it in the provisioning tool again. It is double the work to create a data model. We are also using external calls or the Java custom plans functions. This can be both positive and negative. Since MDM as a client does not support any complex validation, we have to depend on the external call or a Java call. Every time we deployed, the entire solution was impacted if something went wrong."
"The scalability is tough."
 

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."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"The product is very expensive"
"It's a costly solution"
"The solution is very expensive."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
