Chandrakant Bharadwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient management of multi-domain masters but API integrations could be improved
As for improvement, the con is basically API integrations. I would like to have some improved API integrations in the future release. Moreover, there is room for improvement in the setup process. The company should move the deployment to the cloud and make it a ready setup. In the market, many of the players, like Trento, Semarchy, and MDM software which are on the cloud, are ready to use. All the installation is pre-defined so that the installation cost is not to be added by the client every time. So, deployment and installation are specific to the service partner only. A client cannot do it by themselves.

Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, 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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Efficient management of multi-domain masters, product suppliers, and locations."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"It has all the advantages of the Cloud in that you can use it without worrying about infrastructure, upkeep, or upgrades."
"I do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
"The product is scalable and excellent for enterprise-level organizations."
"One of the most valuable features is that I don't need to buy a subscription for any functionality. With Informatica Cloud Data Management, I have all the functionality and features available. If I need to make an integration, I can go to that integration service. If I need to mask, provide, or clean some information, I can easily just pick up that feature and use it. It's very simple, and I have all the functions and capabilities I need to work with data."
"I have rated the stability a ten out of ten due to a high level of satisfaction."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"As for improvement, the con is basically API integrations."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"It can be improved in terms of performance and execution. I'm expecting better performance. It currently has some restrictions in terms of execution. For example, if we want to run it in the command mode and execute it, there are some restrictions, and we are facing some issues with a huge volume of data. These restrictions are not there in Informatica PowerCenter because we are able to execute a huge volume of data, and there are more ways to execute it."
"The scalability is tough."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"The integration with other data management tools can be enhanced. For instance, there is no integration with tools like Collibra or Hubview."
"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used. Each customer purchases a certain amount of IPUs per month, but you can use more or less than that defined quantity. The only problem is if you don't use the all your IPUs, they don't carry over into the next month. I think customers should have the ability to transfer unused IPUs into the next month or year. This improvement could help give customers more flexibility, especially since cloud solutions need flexibility in how we use and pay for them."
"One area that could use improvement is the speed of the web interfaces. At present, they are very slow. I think it is essential that we are original and robust on-premises."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
