Offers numerous prebuilt data quality plans that can be reused for various data cleansing tasks
We had many duplicates originating from different source systems. We were able to match and deduplicate a significant amount of data. Additionally, we could synchronize and write back the latest information to the systems that were out of sync, ensuring they had the most recent data. As a result, we could write back and update the source systems.

Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Works quickly to develop and deploy to production."
"One great feature with OmniGen is the time it takes to develop and deploy to production."
"Ibi Data Quality offers numerous prebuilt data quality plans that can be reused for various data cleansing tasks. Additionally, it provides a variety of prebuilt match and merge rules for performing master data management,"
"The most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Integration for our clients are the AI capabilities within Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."
"The product provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication, machine survivorship, and other things."
"This flexibility is what I really love about Informatica."
"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, and it can highlight anomalies in the data."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are it is cloud-enabled and has all the elements that are supposed to have in terms of MDM as a solution, very well-integrated with any of the SAP and non-SAP applications, quite user-friendly, and the user experience that you receive in Informatica MDM is quite good."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"From a technical point of view, it's a great product."
 

Cons

"The special integration support is something that could be improved in the solution."
"Special integration support could be improved."
"Their data governance portal can be improved. It lacks data governance-related features. Also, PII and anomaly detection could be valuable use cases for ibi. Adding these features would be a great enhancement."
"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"With limited data it's fine, but with a large volume the scalability is questionable, the threshold of data transaction is different."
"Mainly, MDM requires improvement when you need to migrate your version to a later one -- because it is very difficult and takes a lot of time to convert the processes you have already developed and implemented on a previous version, and can cause a need to rework the processes."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."
"The UI is extremely complex"
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"The product is highly-priced."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
