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.

A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Informatica technical support has never been a problem; they are fantastic, and if you reach out to them and raise a case, they get onto it very quickly."
"Customer service and technical support are excellent."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"The solution's initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The ability to aggregate and put together data from around fifty sources into one environment allows us to have a preview of everything in a single place, which is something we did not have previously in our company."
"It has improved our organization because it has made our data more reliable. Data is the most important asset these days, and in order to trust your data, you need these tools to make sure that your data is clean and reliable."
"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
"I was responsible for installing Informatica Cloud Data Quality on Google infrastructure, which was straightforward."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."
"Metadata querying is right now not there in Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"The solution is not as stable as we'd like. We need to do a lot of work on the operational side because it crashes frequently, at least once a week."
"It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."
"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"The pricing structure is good, but having to pay for extra drivers to be used in an ICS environment makes me a little nervous."
