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

"The solution is very stable."
"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."
"It is one of the top-tier solutions that are available."
"It's a great product, but all the functionalities need to be exploited in order to get the full value of the investment."
"The IDEF0 add-on solution truly integrates all the process maps through intelligent arrow name management."
"The solution's most beneficial feature is the 360 approach, where documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities are in one solution."
"Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."
"The solution has helped our organization because instead of writing long documentation for the shop floor, flow charts make it more attractive for the staff to follow up on and carry out procedures."
"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."
"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
"Mapping designer seems to be easier to use even when compared with PowerCenter which is a great improvement."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) a 10 out of 10."
"The quality of the data improves with Informatica Cloud Data Quality."
"Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"They can reduce the cost of the product and make it easily accessible for consultants."
"In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet."
"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a reseller in Mexico."
"The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings."
"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."
"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."
"Visio is more user-friendly."
"If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is not too user-friendly to do the configurations."
"Informatica Axon does not provide complete transparency about the level of detailing you need and the logic used in ETL."
"The UI is extremely complex"
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Lake's setup process was complex since it doesn't support a lot of real-time systems."
"The biggest pain point for us is the documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"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."
"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."
"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"It's a costly solution"
"The product is very expensive"
"The licensing costs attached to the solution are pretty high, but then, with the cloud model, the prices depend on what it provides for the value of money, which I feel was very high."
"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."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
