Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance."
"We are gaining our customers' confidence, and they rely on us for data classification."
"The feature that allows me to search across the entire organizational database and then look through what objects are in which tables and which locations is quite handy."
"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."
"The product has been very easy to use."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"We've found it to be very stable."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"It has helped us to better organize, control and monitor the APIs across the solution landscape in the enterprise."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
 

Cons

"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough."
"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools."
"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"I can't say the user interface is useless, but people don't use it because they find it cumbersome."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"One thing to consider is that while Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services already integrates with AI platforms, we need to use these tools rigorously and check all these aspects, including machine learning and analytics. I feel that more work needs to be done on this aspect."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"Although it is working great for us at the moment, we don't enjoy its user-interface. The UI is based on an old approach and needs an overhaul to modernize the UI and user interaction."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"The cost of the solution is very high. It's not very cheap."
"Oracle needs to improve on access to technical documentation."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"We got a 50% discount."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
