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.

A well-established product that meets all our specifications in terms of usability
In the initial stage when we went with Data Integrator Cloud Service it was primarily the nativity factor that was key for us. Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications, and the ability to configure activities and direct integration with various other Oracle products, were the main attractive features within ODI. This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications. It meets all our specifications in terms of usability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"We can scan anything."
"We are gaining our customers' confidence, and they rely on us for data classification."
"Informatica provides a comprehensive solution for on-the-fly or real-time data masking."
"Single and consistent view of Customer Data arising from a centralized data set with unique customer records."
"So far, we have been pleased with its capabilities."
"The data integration and synchronization features in IICS improve the data handling processes."
"The most valuable thing to me is its simplicity. A person with zero knowledge can also develop the integration without having extensive technology knowledgebase. They can also work on creating their own integration."
"The solution is easy to manage and offers good integration. You can run all the tasks one by one which is really helpful, and pick the day and time to do so."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes the integration a little faster and makes it easier to implement the integration quickly."
"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications."
"The solution is very stable and it's great once you get it working correctly."
 

Cons

"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"Informatica goes down for maintenance quite a lot due to the upgrades."
"New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends. The solution is good, but it definitely needs a lot of improvement and needs to speed up as per the market."
"With limited data it's fine, but with a large volume the scalability is questionable, the threshold of data transaction is different."
"Support response time could be better."
"When errors arise, contacting support can be frustrating."
"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository. Business rules for the attributes that you have, keeping them in that central repository, and governance of them is something which Axon is lacking a bit. The Informatica Data Quality tool actually caters to that, so that's probably why they have not built that up in the Axon, but it is definitely something that can be built in to this product, as well."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
"The solution is expensive."
"Licensing costs for this Oracle solution are expensive. ODI forms an integral part of the overall PaaS solution and becomes a kind of backbone for that particular service, which is painful because from a PaaS perspective, the licensing costs just shoot off the roof."
"It can be made much easier for users. They should be allowed to easily monitor the data extraction and flow, allowing them to observe real-time data flow within the software, making the process straightforward."
"I would like to see different cloud adapters or connectors in case of integration. When you have Oracle to Oracle, they are good. They have really good connectors, but if it is a different ERP, like Obsidian, that is where they are faced with problems in OIC."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"The licensing costs attached to the solution are pretty high, but then, with the cloud model, the prices depend on what it provides for the value of money, which I feel was very high."
"The product is very expensive"
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"We got a 50% discount."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
