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

"E2E is cheaper compared to IBM, Oracle, webMethods, and other middleware solutions."
"What I like about the Bridge is the way that you build your model with a graphical interface using UML."
"The solution is easier to use compared to the other solutions."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) a 10 out of 10."
"The feature that allows me to search across the entire organizational database and then look through what objects are in which tables and which locations is quite handy."
"Most of our customers were using excel and email-based communication for data access, and these new-age solutions improve efficiency ten times or more."
"The solution has improved our organization by providing data quality."
"The tool does give a good ROI."
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services allows us to manage the entire data lifecycle in the insurance domain, supporting microservices architecture and leveraging AI and machine learning for data discovery, quality, and integration."
 

Cons

"Maybe they need to support more connectivity protocols."
"An area of improvement is the stopping and starting of services from the Bridge server console."
"Their UI needs improvement. Their scorecards and reporting also need improvement. Their data quality reporting, especially their dashboards and scorecards, is lackluster at best. Its reporting capabilities are limited. If you want to do anything beyond its limited reporting capabilities, then you're going to have to use an external reporting tool such as Power BI or something like that."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"With limited data it's fine, but with a large volume the scalability is questionable, the threshold of data transaction is different."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"The integration process is not easy."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals."
"I would rate it a seven out of ten due to lack of inbuilt BAM and BRE features."
