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

"Informatica is user-friendly, stable, and scalable. These three aspects are the most valuable for us. If we can make it work well with the CRM, we can continue or try again this year to complete that part of the project. I am confident that this kind of solution is what we need because we have a third-party resource that works in the development."
"It's a stable product without any bugs or glitches."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"Single and consistent view of Customer Data arising from a centralized data set with unique customer records."
"It's great as a unified enterprise data management platform."
"The product is stable."
"When I compare with other vendors, Informatica support is better, feedback-wise."
"The feature I found most valuable in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services is the mapping; you just drag and it maps the data, so mapping is very easy and it's no code."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"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."
"It has helped us to better organize, control and monitor the APIs across the solution landscape in the enterprise."
"The product has been very easy to use."
"We've found it to be very stable."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
 

Cons

"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."
"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"Improving the speed of data showcasing and filtration would be better, and though we can customize these aspects in Informatica Enterprise Data Lake, there's still room for enhancement."
"Informatica Axon's response times and certain aspects of the admin panel could be enhanced for better usability."
"The cloud version of Informatica, although easier and more advanced than PowerCenter, still requires a deep dive to fix bugs."
"Once the data is masked, we won't be able to reverse it back to its original value."
"We would like to have accessibility to the repository."
"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"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."
"Oracle needs to improve on access to technical documentation."
"The cost of the solution is very high. It's not very cheap."
"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."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."

"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"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."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
