Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is where I think MDM shines - with its strong fuzzy matching algorithm. This is the essence of Informatica MDM. Based on these results, I can write our match conditions and then perform the corresponding data management activities."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"Initial setup was fairly easy."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bulk upload. We upload files in CSV or Excel format."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"We can scan anything."
"I am impressed by the solution's interface."
"The product seems stable enough."
"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

"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep."
"Enhancements on the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial."
"In terms of cost effectiveness, Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is more than 20% costly compared to the industry."
"Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough."
"Its pricing model can be improved. The response time from technical support can also be improved."
"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."
"Improvements are needed in the fees and the licensing part. The tool's price can be made lower."
"Better external connections and API integrations are needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not sure about the most recent pricing trends, but I don't believe it's significantly different from PowerCenter. I believe it is nearly the same."
"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."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"The product has a high price point."
"It's an expensive solution."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"The price of the solution is very, very high."
