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.

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

"Efficient management of multi-domain masters, product suppliers, and locations."
"The feature that was most valuable to me was the ability to export files into .CSV format."
"What took 10 hours to do in the on-prem version, takes less than an hour in the cloud."
"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"What I like best about Informatica MDM is its structured, table-based approach. Unlike Reltio, where data is only visible through the UI and cloud-based, the solution allows access to normalized tables. This means I can directly query and see data in each table. For instance, I can easily get all customer details from the customer table. However, for more complex queries, like seeing all customer interactions with the organization, some SQL knowledge is needed to join different tables and retrieve the details."
"It's one of the best tools in its class."
"We have received a return on investment using Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"The quality of the data improves with Informatica Cloud Data Quality."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"I am a fan of Informatica and it is definitely a product that I recommend because of its inbuilt capabilities."
 

Cons

"If a large file was imported/exported, or a lot of people were logged into the system, it would slow down and crash."
"As for improvement, the con is basically API integrations."
"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."
"The product is more expensive than other similar solutions."
"You cannot import the data discovery rules you create in the solution to the Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC)."
"Permissions, scalability, and connection with other informatic tools are the main areas that need development. Integration with other tools, such as IDQ, is challenging. The management of data discovery is highly challenging because many data points have identical definitions."
"Considering internal data from legacy systems, it is quite difficult to know if Informatica Data Quality meets that high level of accuracy criteria."
"We currently have issues with real-time integration."
"The product's pricing is definitely an area where a bit of improvement is needed."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective."
"The pricing model is something that can be improved."
"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."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."
