You can build your model with a graphical interface using UML. Apart from some scripting, there is no coding.
An area of improvement is the stopping and starting of services from the Bridge server console. The only way to test services on the Bridge is to have them scheduled so that they run at a specific moment in time. It is, at this time, not possible to trigger this by hand from the console. It is possible to trigger it via the analyze tool, which is used to trace the service. It would be nice to have a simple way to test services without having to schedule them. This is no problem for a developer, but from the functional consultant point of view, the functional consultant needs to test the service and determine if it meets the requirements. It's not a big issue, but it would be nice to have.

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

"What I like about the Bridge is the way that you build your model with a graphical interface using UML."
"E2E is cheaper compared to IBM, Oracle, webMethods, and other middleware solutions."
"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."
"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."
"We use parts and standardization for most of our testing. We purchase the US Postal Service address database, which is updated periodically. Many useful tools, such as Google Maps, can detect and mark new businesses or changes in business locations. Informatica captures and updates this information. Some periodic maintenance is involved, but setting it up is not overly complicated."
"It's probably one of the leading lights in ETL."
"The most valuable feature is its friendly user interface, which makes it easier to create quality shared functionalities or quality rules."
"Seamless integration of MDM, data quality and data integration modules."
"The product is scalable and excellent for enterprise-level organizations."
"We had a bad experience before Informatica Cloud Data Quality, we started a data analytics project that took more than three months of wasted time because we couldn't use the data to create the optimization model."
 

Cons

"An area of improvement is the stopping and starting of services from the Bridge server console."
"Maybe they need to support more connectivity protocols."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"Some capabilities from the cloud version are not included in the on-premises version."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time."
"Not all transformations are supported, unlike PowerCenter."
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"The solution is expensive."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"We got a 50% discount."
