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.

Fast, has good extraction, validation, and transformation features, and provides good support
Though validation is good and fast enough in Oracle Data Quality, an area for improvement is the accuracy of the validation. Though the solution offers multidimensional validation, it needs a bit more improvement in the accuracy aspect because smaller products can offer better accuracy in terms of validation compared to Oracle Data Quality. What I'd like to see from the solution in its next release, is an increase in compliances and regulations that would allow it to cover all industries because multiple verticals demand data quality nowadays, and this improvement will be helpful as Oracle Data Quality is an in-built delivered solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is its friendly user interface, which makes it easier to create quality shared functionalities or quality rules."
"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"The solution is easier to use compared to the other solutions."
"The setup was very straightforward; once the agent is installed, you can then be up and running."
"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"However, I think Oracle Data Quality is definitely worth giving a try."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and maintain."
"OEDQ helped us to define Data Quality issues from a business perspective by business users and ability to manage those issues within our ETL tool (Oracle Data Integrator - ODI)."
"The technical support is very good; we had a good experience with the support."
"Compared to the competition, Oracle Data Quality is a very flexible and advanced product."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"With Oracle Data Quality, the most valuable feature is entity matching."
"The quality of data has vastly improved and our business intelligence reports are accurate in real time."
 

Cons

"There could be a lot more application integration."
"Database access is highly restricted with PIM."
"Synchronicity is an area for improvement in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services. For example, when you want real-time or immediate response from the solution when multiple technologies are involved, the integration with Informatica Intelligent Cloud isn't seamless, whether it's the MQ, JMS, or BES service, so the connectivity should be improved a bit. The data governance is good, but what's lacking is a demo. For example, if there's a new feature in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, the documentation for that new feature is limited, so if Informatica could give a more complete documentation and more demos, that would be better for the users. Right now, there isn't any issue with any of the features of the solution. It's the new feature awareness or user training, and improved connectivity that I'd like to see in the next version of Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time."
"The biggest pain point for us is the documentation."
"Perhaps the web services need to improve because when you create a new data file and add some changes, we must edit it and create a web service transformation again."
"When we compared Informatica to SAP, we realized that we lose the ability to integrate easily with our SAP business applications"
"We experienced several basic issues with the product that required daily meetings with Informatica product specialists."
"Mobile support and mobile app can be implemented, since business users generally prefers to work with their laptops and mobile phones."
"There are some challenges with respect to standardization, matching, segregation, and merging."
"Though validation is good and fast enough in Oracle Data Quality, an area for improvement is the accuracy of the validation. Though the solution offers multidimensional validation, it needs a bit more improvement in the accuracy aspect because smaller products can offer better accuracy in terms of validation compared to Oracle Data Quality. What I'd like to see from the solution in its next release, is an increase in compliances and regulations that would allow it to cover all industries because multiple verticals demand data quality nowadays, and this improvement will be helpful as Oracle Data Quality is an in-built delivered solution."
"Oracle Data Quality should integrate with data warehousing solutions such as Azure and CWS Office. For example, having the ability to integrate with tools, such as Azure Synapse and SQL data warehousing would be a great benefit."
"Oracle is currently not that intuitive. We need to use programmers to write code for a lot of the procedures. We need to have them write CL SQL code and write a CL script."
"Integration performance and availability of out of the box integration to more products (ERP Tools, Data Cleansing Software etc.)."
"We have experienced some system crashes i.e. when tying to run Data Profiling Processes for very large data sets."
"The initial setup was complicated, there is a lot of configuration that needs to be done."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very expensive"
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
"The price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."
