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

"The scalability of the solution is excellent."
"This solution allows you to easily access and make use of information that you have in your on-premises environment."
"The most valuable feature is the rule specification."
"Server maintenance, server hosting, backup, restoration, and DB capabilities are not needed in the cloud."
"Customer service and technical support are excellent."
"The best part about the Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is the modularity; when I say modularity, I mean the things get easier by working into different modules."
"The data mapping capability is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
 

Cons

"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."
"In the on-premises version, features like web service consumer and web service provider are available, but these functionalities are currently unavailable in the cloud edition."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"Most of the new features added by Informatica are through Elastic Mapping. It would be helpful to have features like multithreading or partitioning for Salesforce to enhance performance."
"I would like to see more API integration to have the capability to build a report using other third party reporting tools to streamline the operation."
"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"I would like to see support for more data sources."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."

"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"The price is comparable."
"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."
