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.

Its functionality and performance are adequate but it provides a single source of truth for customer data
We use it as the Master Data Management platform for a large bank in Australia which has many separate customer data repositories The intent of this platform is to provide a single source of truth for customer data. To some extent, this has been achieved. Any customer MDM project tends to be…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution allows you to easily access and make use of information that you have in your on-premises environment."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"I like the connectivity and richness of features for the technical team, the maturity of the product, and that it had a cloud version. There is Informatica Cloud, and it is part of the Informatica Cloud platform."
"The most valuable feature is the rule specification."
"This product is the most agile way to use all of the data capabilities and data services that you need to exploit in your company."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Now that we run all the addresses through AddressDoctor, we know what is a deliverable address and what is not, and we see the suggestion list for the addresses which are not deliverable."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"The intent of this platform is to provide a single source of truth for customer data."
"It is a solid, reliable product with a robust development history and good support behind them."
 

Cons

"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"Error analysis becomes difficult as finding the exact location of the error in the logs is challenging."
"If I wanted to improve something, it would be the way we import or the way we design the policies."
"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."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools."
"Informatica Axon's response times and certain aspects of the admin panel could be enhanced for better usability."
"Any customer MDM project tends to be complicated and difficult to show a positive business case over a short to medium time frame."
"OCH has adequate functionality and performance to serve a group customer master."
"It has essentially been "frozen" by Oracle - they don't seem to be updating it any further."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"The product is very expensive"
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"The pricing model is something that can be improved."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
