Improved data quality significantly enhances project efficiency and effectiveness
I am not utilizing the data quality rules management part yet. We had a bad experience before Informatica Cloud Data Quality. We started a data analytics project that took more than three months of wasted time because we couldn't use the data to create the optimization model. If we have an application like Informatica Cloud Data Quality or a data quality platform, we can finish the project in less than three months. This is the on-prem data that we ingested. We don't use any cloud data that we have. For now, we are just using the on-prem data, and we don't have any integration from the data outside of the on-prem. I would recommend it to other users. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 9.
Rene Dorantes - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable, stable, and offers good technical support
SAP Data Quality Management would be better if it directly integrates with the ME system. Right now, the company has a lot of machines on the shop floor working as a standalone, so you have to use all methods to ensure that the data interface appears on the ME system and that SAP Data Quality Management records the QM results. It would be much easier if the ME system could be integrated directly with SAP Data Quality Management. What I'd like to see from SAP Data Quality Management in the future is the integration of machines on the shop floor or a feature that connects shop floor devices. I'd also like a custom dashboard in the solution, though I wonder if that's available in the new version. The old version my company uses doesn't have that. Another feature I want in the next release of SAP Data Quality Management is better communication between the ME and the SAP systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The reusability factors are nice. The Cloud Data Quality is much better. A major flaw in the previous version was integration with the catalog, which is now seamless."
"I would definitely recommend Informatica Data Quality to others."
"Server maintenance, server hosting, backup, restoration, and DB capabilities are not needed in the cloud."
"The user-friendliness and performance of Informatica is quite impressive."
"The profiling features are much better than the on-premise version."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We had a bad experience before Informatica Cloud Data Quality, we started a data analytics project that took more than three months of wasted time because we couldn't use the data to create the optimization model."
"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is Master Data Management. You can write code to build your logic rules to check the quality."
"Our primary use case is for us to inspect the results from the product and material, and for releasing or leaving the status of the product."
"Scalability is good."
"We work with API standards or norms for internal applications, so it's essential for SSE to have tests and pass those tests according to the criteria, which makes SAP Data Quality Management very important for our products."
 

Cons

"If a new solution has the same features and less investment, it would be worth considering."
"Some capabilities from the cloud version are not included in the on-premises version."
"I used to use this tool more but recently we have been using another tool that we feel is better because it handles spatial data. Informatica Cloud Data Quality could improve by adding the ability to handle spatial data."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I remember when I used it, there was some limitation in one of the data quality dimensions. I was not able to perform certain tasks on the cloud version, even though I could do them on the data center version."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality has significant room for improvement. It is not stable, and there are several issues, especially on the cloud side, unlike the on-premise version which was very stable."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality could improve by adding more algorithms for matching and mastering. We currently only have five or six. Additionally, the parallelism in data is better in other solutions, such as IBM."
"The downside of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is that it requires a developer to write rules and maintain the systems. This creates a significant cost and time burden."
"There are some limitations. They are not covering complete scenarios for all the modules."
"SAP Data Quality Management would be better if it directly integrates with the ME system. Right now, the company has a lot of machines on the shop floor working as a standalone, so you have to use all methods to ensure that the data interface appears on the ME system and that SAP Data Quality Management records the QM results. It would be much easier if the ME system could be integrated directly with SAP Data Quality Management."
"I would like for them to develop a feature to able to record all of our inspections; so all the data can go through SAP. It's not user-friendly or easy to get further analysis, so we mostly skip this step."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"We pay for a yearly subscription."
