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 solution is very scalable, and if a company needs to expand it, it should not face any issues doing so."
"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"There are a couple of valuable features. One is that it is very quick on the profiling. So, you get a very fast snapshot of the type of data that you're looking at from the profiling perspective. It can highlight anomalies in the data."
"It is quite useful and flexible compared to other vendors in terms of cost of implementation and use case."
"We found that it is the most robust platform to integrate with our e-commerce platform."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance."
"With Informatica technical support has never been a problem; they are fantastic, and if you reach out to them and raise a case, they get onto it very quickly."
"The quality of the data improves with Informatica Cloud Data Quality."
 

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."
"GUI is poor in IDQ"
"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."
"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."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"The user interface could be more user friendly with a simplified mapping task."
"The initial setup is very, very difficult."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"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."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
