MR
Solution Consultant at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
Provides documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities
If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right. We have a strategic approach for the customer. I was involved in almost 100 sessions where the customers were looking for a one-time process visualization or one-time process mining, not for a long-term association with this tool. The customer's requirements are more tactical than strategic. We had some challenges during this time frame as I was with iGrafx, and electricity costs rose in Germany. One customer stopped a large deal because they had to reduce every non-invested investment due to the electricity bill rising by 500% to 800%.

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

"Overall, the solution is very useful and has good features."
"iGrafx is the most comprehensive way to have all the cross-feeds and the documents related to workflows, like cross-notes."
"The IDEF0 add-on solution truly integrates all the process maps through intelligent arrow name management."
"The solution's technical support is of good quality since they offer fast and seamless services."
"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."
"Simulation is most valuable."
"iGrafx gives you the capability of documenting your process and then the ability to use it as a tool for analysis to identify the loopholes and shortcomings of your process."
"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"A great product enrichment tool."
"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."
"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"It's one of the best tools in its class."
"Overall product management, flexibility, intuitiveness and governance."
"It's got a reputation in the industry as one of the best solutions for master data management. So, it's what we see in the Gartner top right quadrant as the best product in that space."
"Customer service is absolutely brilliant and their on-demand support is really good speaking from a development team perspective."
 

Cons

"They can reduce the cost of the product and make it easily accessible for consultants."
"The solution could benefit from improvements to its interface. More specifically, when compared to other tools, the process modeling features lack symbols or object types that are used to represent the information or data within the process."
"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a reseller in Mexico."
"One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities."
"This is a tool that covers the low end (e.g. Visio) to high end (e.g. Aris), although it's much less user friendly."
"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."
"I would like to see a lower price, although when used correctly, you can have a good return on your investment."
"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"Informatica products are always increasing in price. Nowadays, many of their customers are leaving and seeking other data integration tools."
"Informatica's support understands the solution, but they lack the experience we need for our use case. That was one thing that we prioritized when we started searching for this kind of solution."
"There is room for improvement at the highest level in terms of useability and connectors for various types of new applications. The row processing performance could be better because you experience some latency dealing with high volumes of data. Most organizations will be dealing with multiple cloud applications, so you could see performance issues moving from one system to another."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"We'd like to see the microservices, which don't run yet because the solution is not yet fully cloud-based."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."
"Earlier, the licensing part was complex because there were so many modules and elements in the tool. Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has gone into how the product has priced and positioned its tools in the market."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"It's a costly solution"
"It's a very expensive solution"
"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
