Scalability Issues

Camunda provides scalable solutions with technologies like Spring Boot and Kubernetes, though database configuration may present challenges for some users.
Sentiment score

Informatica IDMC excels in scalable data management, handling large volumes and global deployments, with adaptability in cloud environments.
Camunda offers a high level of scalability, especially when using its SaaS model, which manages and scales implementations automatically.
It allows for easy scaling, especially with ECS service configurations.
As a SaaS platform, IDMC is quite scalable and provides complete flexibility.
 

Stability Issues

Camunda is praised for stability and reliability, with minor integration challenges and occasional bugs, rated 7-10 by users.
Sentiment score
7.7
Informatica IDMC is generally stable, with occasional issues in older versions or specific features, often resolved by support updates.
There haven't been any significant outages in my experience with Camunda.
Stability is crucial because IDMC holds business-critical data, and it needs to be available all the time for business users.
 

Room For Improvement

Camunda's platform faces user dissatisfaction due to poor user-friendliness, documentation, performance, and costly licensing, needing significant improvements.
IDMC needs enhancements in user interface, data integration, security, automation, cloud support, documentation, and customer service.
More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup.
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible.
I also want to see integration with other Informatica products, such as IICS, to leverage the metadata from EDC.
The tool needs to mature in terms of category-specific attributes or dynamic attributes.
 

Setup Cost

Camunda provides cost-effective enterprise licenses, though costs can rise with usage, posing concerns for smaller companies.
Informatica IDMC's pricing is complex and expensive, with negotiable options, prompting consideration of alternatives despite its robust features.
For some services, such as hosting databases, Google is really expensive.
There is a licensing cost for using the SaaS model and Enterprise edition of Camunda.
IDMC is often described as the 'Ferrari of Master Data Solutions,' implying that while expensive, it is business-critical and, therefore, justified.
I think the costs are reasonable for the kinds of features that Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) has.
 

Valuable Features

Camunda offers flexible, lightweight architecture supporting BPMN, CMMN, and DMN, with user-friendly, non-programmer interfaces and seamless integration.
Informatica IDMC offers seamless integration, flexible architecture, and robust data management with real-time processing and user-friendly interface.
ECS also allows for horizontal scalability with thresholds that can be configured for CPU or memory.
The platform's ability to pull in data from other platforms without the need for an additional integration tool enhances its appeal.
Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) can connect to pretty much any application, including Oracle Analytics and Power BI, and it works quite seamlessly.

FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.
Raj Sethupathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated
Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.
