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.

Real-time integration and seamless data synchronization enhance user experience
The stability of Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is one of its most useful features, although its performance is not too steady. It excels with bidirectional data synchronization. It supports diverse databases and platforms. We link the ODS with numerous source systems, including Oracle, Tarek Data, and Microsoft, with no integration issues. The solution caters to enterprise needs, fitting any organizational requirement, apart from data security issues common to cloud solutions. The cloud data security challenge is notable, necessitating solutions such as private cloud offerings to allay security concerns.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services offers a wide variety of services, including Cloud Data Integration, which is akin to a replica of PowerCenter on the cloud. I particularly like the mass ingestion service."
"This flexibility is what I really love about Informatica."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"The setup was very straightforward; once the agent is installed, you can then be up and running."
"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 technical support services are good."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."
"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."
"GoldenGate is a good solution to implement in terms of scalability and flexibility."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The stability of Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is one of its most useful features, although its performance is not too steady; it excels with bidirectional data synchronization and supports diverse databases and platforms."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."
"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud, as instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."
 

Cons

"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"You cannot import the data discovery rules you create in the solution to the Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC)."
"The ability of the product to leverage the power of big data could be improved."
"When we compared Informatica to SAP, we realized that we lose the ability to integrate easily with our SAP business applications"
"The one thing that I think could be improved is connectivity with the Salesforce because if you're loading a huge amount of data, whatever optimization is carried out, takes some time and it could be a little faster."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."
"Informatica MDM could improve the interdependency with integration."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"Pricing is rather expensive. Oracle typically prices on the higher side, and there is scope for them to reconsider the price, especially since it is a cloud service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The price is comparable."
"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"Informatica MDM is a costly solution because it comes as a bundle. They are also globally positioning themselves and are definitely working on very upgraded technologies. If someone wanted to do it on the cloud, they have a lot of flexibility because they upgrade themselves according to the current needs. It definitely comes with a lot of features and that's the reason why it's costly. The licensing cost should be approximately one million dollars. It's about four to five times that of other vendors."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
