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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A great product enrichment tool."
"The solution's scalability is high."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"Informatica MDM has helped our organization because we now work from a harmonized single record for customers and patients."
"It is one of the best tools available for data integration."
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"Using DRG within Oracle Data Relationship Management has been beneficial for our organization."
"DRM customer service is top notch since it is a small set of people that use it."
"Implementing the workflow portion of DRM which is called Data Relationship Governance (DRG) the client cut that time down to an hour."
"With this application, if data was entered manually with a system whose data we migrated onto the DRM system, we can automate 90% of that manual entry."
"As a product that integrates out of the box with Oracle EBS and Hyperion the product has proved to be a great step forward in allowing us to manage reference data across multiple platforms and something that we were able to deploy quite easily."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to use JavaScript in formulas."
 

Cons

"Asia pacific region address validation needs to be improved."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."
"Some capabilities from the cloud version are not included in the on-premises version."
"The initial setup is very, very difficult."
"It can be improved in terms of performance and execution. I'm expecting better performance."
"There's definitely room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness. One example is that you can't search for jobs directly by file name. You can only search by job name. So, if you want to find a job that works with a specific file, you have to go through each job individually to find the right one. So, I'd like to see a faster search, one where I can search directly by file name."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"Improvements are needed in the fees and the licensing part. The tool's price can be made lower."
"Integrating with non-Oracle products needs improvement, it only provides a text output file."
"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."
"Better external connections and API integrations are needed."
"If you hard-code values into the properties, you'll get customer complaints that DRM is "running slow."
"The ROI will be a few years. DRM/DRG is really expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"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."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"The price of the solution is very, very high."
