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.

Pros

"Works quickly 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,"
"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
"We've used the solution for quite some time, so in our organization, the product is pretty mature."
"The scalability is very high."
"The solution scales well."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"The out-of-the-box features and standard profiling options provide quick visibility of the data within minutes, which facilitates discussions with the business."
 

Cons

"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."
"Special integration support could be improved."
"Cost-wise, it could be better."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"The configuration process is pretty lengthy and challenging and could be made easier to understand."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"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."
"Error analysis becomes difficult as finding the exact location of the error in the logs is challenging."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"With the solution, we had some issues, and we have every day, and we used to open a ticket. Sometimes, there are data issues and transformation issues."
