Reltio: Question about Master Data Management Capabilities

Riversand technology is leader in the MDM space and makes a product called MDMcenter. Gartner and Forrester put these guys in a leader and visionary quadrant topping Informatica, oracle, and sap. They have a product used by many fortune 1000s and multinational companies. I have rolled out MDM solutions for a bunch of customers using different platforms and Riversand's is the best. They have cloud based and on premise solutions. It can scale from small projects to biggest implementations of the planet, different geographies/locations, langauges and near infinite entities. Their licensing can vary based on required modules; but they offer Matching, Deduplication, Searching, Workflow, Modeling, Analytics, Integration, Domain / cross-domain, Governance tools to change / commit / rollback. The applications modeling and framework is flexible so it can handle any domain, product, retail, manufacturing, customer, vendor, finance, investment vehicles, jewelry, oil and gas, person, auto, high tech, oil gas, fast food, grocery, etc. Hands down this is best product in its class. It's top shelf. Given the choice and having used other products, I'd choice Riversand over the other competing products. If you didn't check them out yet, you definitely should.

Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated

Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features that I have found most valuable are, first of all, that it comes as part of this whole bundle of Informatica tools. So if you've been implementing Informatica MDM across a business, you'd often find it comes with it. It's been thrown in as a sweetener. The adoption of it is often the challenge because as part of your MDM project, governance is seen as something beyond the MDM and is often restrictive. So this tool actually, for the first time, when you talk to data governance teams, gives a holistic view of what a data governance team can do with this tool."

"It is one of the best tools available for data integration."

"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 solution has the best feature for parameterization."

"We've used the solution for quite some time, so in our organization, the product is pretty mature."

"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."

"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."

"In the latest version, I like the outlay of the business roles creation. I like seeing that visualization as you're building it, as opposed to going through metatables or XML mappings. We liked that piece, and it makes it more intuitive for the business."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"Using DRG within Oracle Data Relationship Management has been beneficial for our organization."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to use JavaScript in formulas."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons

"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a two out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy."

"Informatica's support understands the solution, but they lack the experience we need for our use case. That was one thing that we prioritized when we started searching for this kind of solution."

"The main issue preventing Brazilian companies from migrating to Informatica Cloud Data Integration from on-prem is the price."

"The scalability is tough."

"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."

"Informatica MDM could improve the interdependency with integration. The solution sometimes becomes a bit difficult to change considering a lot of interdependency with the integration. There can be some improvement in the workflows and they can introduce more artificial intelligence."

"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"Improvements are needed in the fees and the licensing part. The tool's price can be made lower."

"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."

"Better external connections and API integrations are needed."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."

"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."

"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."

"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."

"It's a costly solution"

"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."

"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."

"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
