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

"I think the integration feature is probably one of the key features in Informatica MDM...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"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."
"The technical support services are good."
"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"The ability to aggregate and put together data from around fifty sources into one environment allows us to have a preview of everything in a single place, which is something we did not have previously in our company."
"The profiling features are much better than the on-premise version."
"It is a solid, reliable product with a robust development history and good support behind them."
"The intent of this platform is to provide a single source of truth for customer data."
 

Cons

"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"Error analysis becomes difficult as finding the exact location of the error in the logs is challenging."
"Informatica MDM has a complex user interface, which could be improved."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"The cloud version of Informatica, although easier and more advanced than PowerCenter, still requires a deep dive to fix bugs."
"Their data quality reporting, especially their dashboards and scorecards, is lackluster at best."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"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."
"Any customer MDM project tends to be complicated and difficult to show a positive business case over a short to medium time frame."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"So, there are plans for licensing. There are subscription-based and usage-based licenses. Also, there are licenses for exceptional analytics, etc. In short, there are different models of licensing for every enterprise."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"The product has a high price point."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"We got a 50% discount."
