Has good reusability and CDI features
I use Collibra Data Quality. I switched to Informatica because Collibra cannot integrate. Colibra Cloud Data Quality is a very basic tool. There is no integration capability. If you have problem records, there is no fix to remediate them using the same tool. With Informatica, you can integrate with CDI and then create a remediation plan.
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

"Initial setup was fairly easy."
"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."
"The out-of-the-box features and standard profiling options provide quick visibility of the data within minutes, which facilitates discussions with the business."
"The most valuable feature is the rule specification."
"Server maintenance, server hosting, backup, restoration, and DB capabilities are not needed in the cloud."
"I would definitely recommend Informatica Data Quality to others."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The quality of the data improves with Informatica Cloud Data Quality."
"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."
"Scalability is good."
"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."
 

Cons

"Logical views are a little bit behind in comparison to the on-premise version."
"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."
"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."
"Improving the UI to be more business user-friendly would also be beneficial."
"In certain domains, I am looking for material-level match features that are not customizable. The current solution requires code-writing and tweaking, while other solutions offer material-level matches."
"Accessing data as a service is essential, especially for validations requiring external data services. This goes beyond basic syntactic checks, like ensuring an email address contains the @ symbol or .com domain. Instead, it's about advanced validation, such as verifying if an email address exists or if a phone number is valid."
"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."
"You cannot import the data discovery rules you create in the solution to the Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC)."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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