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.

A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation
I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"The product improves data quality."
"It has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms. They're very robust."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"When I compare with other vendors, Informatica support is better, feedback-wise."
"Informatica comes with a predefined data model which is the way in which you enrich your products, acting not only as master data but also as a product enrichment tool, providing flexibility with an undefined number of attributes that define a product and the ability to plug it in with any e-commerce website."
"Server maintenance, server hosting, backup, restoration, and DB capabilities are not needed in the cloud."
"The feature I found most valuable in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services is the mapping. You just drag, and it maps the data. Mapping is very easy, and it's no code. When you migrate data or when the data interaction happens at the source and destination, the challenge is that you'll get different formats. The validation has to be done in the middleware, and the transformation should happen. In Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, it's very easy to do data validation and transformation compared to any other tool."
"OpenText MBPM is a stable solution."
"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
 

Cons

"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"Informatica goes down for maintenance quite a lot due to the upgrades."
"Once the data is masked, we won't be able to reverse it back to its original value."
"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud."
"There were a few stability issues, but overall it is a stable product."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"Database access is highly restricted with PIM."
"We would like to have accessibility to the repository."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."
"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."
