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.

Used to manage the complete attributes of products, but its installation could be a little bit easier
The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. It's not difficult for people to learn to use the solution. Oracle provides training to use the solution through many training videos available on Oracle University. I would recommend the solution to other users. Once you create an item in the solution, it will be automatically available in other modules. The solution is fully integrated with other Oracle models. If you want to integrate the solution with non-Oracle modules, you have to work on it. There are always options to integrate the solution with non-Oracle applications. It would be easier to integrate the solution with other Oracle applications because there are options to do so. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has all the advantages of the Cloud in that you can use it without worrying about infrastructure, upkeep, or upgrades, and Informatica is in charge of all those things."
"The support is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon has been the data marketplace."
"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."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"The solution has multiple valuable features for metadata collection"
"What I like best about Informatica MDM is its structured, table-based approach. Unlike Reltio, where data is only visible through the UI and cloud-based, the solution allows access to normalized tables. This means I can directly query and see data in each table. For instance, I can easily get all customer details from the customer table. However, for more complex queries, like seeing all customer interactions with the organization, some SQL knowledge is needed to join different tables and retrieve the details."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the management of the complete attributes of products and services."
 

Cons

"Don't know yet. In a trial now. There is much to find out, first and foremost, its performance level when compared with on-prem."
"The user interface could be more user friendly with a simplified mapping task."
"Data integration should be improved."
"New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends. The solution is good, but it definitely needs a lot of improvement and needs to speed up as per the market."
"There were a few stability issues, but overall it is a stable product."
"I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"The solution's installation could be a little bit easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"The solution is very expensive."
"We got a 50% discount."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
