Featured Reviews

Sr. Consultant cum Assistant Manager & Offshore Lead at Deloitte
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.

Has accelerated AI experimentation and simplified transition from prototype to production at scale
The Karini team is responsive and continuously innovating. Scaling this responsiveness is critical to meet the rapid development of generative AI technologies. Karini’s Forward-Deployed Engineers provide instant feedback to Karini’s engineers, and the deployment of enhancements or novel developments continues to keep pace with the overall acceptance of our customers. I expect that demand will intensify quickly, and Karini’s capability to provide near-real-time enhancements is critical to our ability to meet that demand.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool does give a good ROI."
"I think the most valuable part of Informatica is the flexibility in extending the data model."
"What I like best about Informatica MDM is its structured, table-based approach. Unlike Reltio, where data is only visible through the UI and cloud-based, the solution allows access to normalized tables. This means I can directly query and see data in each table. For instance, I can easily get all customer details from the customer table. However, for more complex queries, like seeing all customer interactions with the organization, some SQL knowledge is needed to join different tables and retrieve the details."
"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"The advanced features like task flow and conditional integration are particularly useful."
"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."
"The Karini team understands how to operationalize sophisticated GenAI business solutions at enterprise scale."
"Karini GenAI allowed us to achieve our goals to solve a customer problem, deliver value, and provide a successful entry point into our GenAI journey."
"The Karini team understands how to operationalize sophisticated GenAI business solutions at enterprise scale, allowing for rapid experimentation that does not require staffing up with data scientists, machine learning specialists, or AI practitioners."
 

Cons

"I've found that whatever functionalities are available on-prem, can become a bit of a challenge sometimes in the cloud."
"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."
"From my point of view, a quick response time is needed when searching for an item."
"We promote our code changes from a lower to a higher environment, which is highly complex when working with a multi-domain MDM like Informatica."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality could improve by adding more algorithms for matching and mastering. We currently only have five or six."
"Asia pacific region address validation needs to be improved."
"The biggest pain point for us is the documentation. Typically, you have to go through knowledge forums and knowledge groups to find out about the syntax issues for interfacing with new products. Typically, you've got to deal with someone who has been through the pain before. Their documents are not really up to date with current innovations happening in the industry. As big as they are, you can't really expect it, but that's our pain point."
"Karini is still expanding its list of features. As we add new features, additional connections and technologies around AI must be incorporated to ensure we stay current and continue to improve our platform."
"Scaling this responsiveness is critical to meet the rapid development of generative AI technologies."
"Scaling this responsiveness is critical to meet the rapid development of generative AI technologies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"We got a 50% discount."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"It's a costly solution"
"The solution is very expensive."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
