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

"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"Server maintenance, server hosting, backup, restoration, and DB capabilities are not needed in the cloud."
"The solution is applicable for both technical and business users."
"The Informatica MDM tool provided a very robust and cost effective solution to implement a single view of physicians."
"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"The match and merge functionality is invaluable for discovering golden master data records."
"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is Master Data Management, and you can write code to build your logic rules to check the quality."
"Informatica MDM is one of the best in the market in the master data management area."
"This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications."
"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."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"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."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"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."
"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
 

Cons

"The downside of this solution is that the UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals."
"We have seen stability issues with older versions, particularly 6.x and below."
"This is a costly solution."
"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."
"I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking."
"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."
"I would rate it a seven out of ten due to lack of inbuilt BAM and BRE features."
"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."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"The solution is expensive."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"The product is highly-priced."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"The product has a high price point."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"The pricing is quite flexible."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
