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.

Different types of products can have different attributes in the master product record, but there seem to be deployment issues that require a reliable SI.
The powerful attribution management capability, which allows different types of products to have different attributes in the master product record We implement it for other customers, but don't run it ourselves. It has essentially been "frozen" by Oracle - they don't seem to be updating it any…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Most of our customers were using excel and email-based communication for data access, and these new-age solutions improve efficiency ten times or more."
"I find this solution to be the most efficient, immersive, and robust."
"I think the integration feature is probably one of the key features in Informatica MDM...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The governance process was fully manual before, but Axon helped us configure those processes, giving us more visibility, transparency, and control over the data."
"The solution's most valuable features are its data quality, match-merge engine, and CLAIRE AI engine, which helps with AI automation."
"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"Over the last decade, Informatica has proved to be the best MDM solution that is available in the market."
"It is a solid, reliable product with a robust development history and good support behind them."
"We found, most valuable, the ability to view all the information about all of our Items (previously in 8 different systems) in one screen."
 

Cons

"If I wanted to improve something, it would be the way we import or the way we design the policies."
"The cloud version of Informatica, although easier and more advanced than PowerCenter, still requires a deep dive to fix bugs."
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."
"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it."
"This service could be more cost-effective."
"It has essentially been "frozen" by Oracle - they don't seem to be updating it any further."
"Some of our users are very picky. This is common, but almost none like the out-of-box report writing, specifically the Ad-hoc reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"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."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
