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.

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

"We reduced product data setup time from 1.5 hours to 30 minutes."
"The product is the best in the industry (as it is multidomain) and the vendor support is excellent."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"Initial setup was fairly easy."
"The product seems stable enough."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"The solution is applicable for both technical and business users."
"The profiling features are much better than the on-premise version."
"The features I like most about Oracle Data Quality include extraction, transformation, and validation, which makes it a multipurpose product such as Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator. I also like that Oracle Data Quality is very fast, so you can use it for a large volume of data within a short period. You have to do the validation very quickly, so the solution helps in that area of data quality. Another feature of Oracle Data Quality that I like is the MDM (Master Data Management) where you'll have a single source of protection, and this makes the solution perfect and helpful to my company."
"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 quality of data has vastly improved and our business intelligence reports are accurate in real time."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"Oracle EDQ is indeed a state-of-the-art tool that will help you understand, improve, protect, and govern the quality of your enterprise data in a single integrated and collaborative environment."
"I'd recommend this solution to anyone who is using data quality or would want to know the quality of data in their company and fix the data."
"With Oracle Data Quality, the most valuable feature is entity matching."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and maintain."
 

Cons

"The tool could be improved in terms of ease of use, particularly for those without technical expertise. Understanding and extracting data from the table-based structure requires some SQL knowledge and technical skills. Additionally, while Informatica MDM has moved towards a cloud-based MDM with a UI similar to Reltio, I haven't used it, so I can't comment on its effectiveness."
"Informatica Axon does not provide complete transparency about the level of detailing you need and the logic used in ETL."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"The only thing that I can imagine that might be improved is how the available transactions verify addresses used. These transactions have a valid end date and must be used within the agreed timeframe."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
"We have experienced some system crashes i.e. when tying to run Data Profiling Processes for very large data sets."
"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."
"Mobile support and mobile app can be implemented, since business users generally prefers to work with their laptops and mobile phones."
"If the length of time required for deployment was reduced then it would be very helpful."
"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 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.)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
"The price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."
