Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The governance process was fully manual before, but Axon helped us configure those processes, giving us more visibility, transparency, and control over the data."
"It's a stable product without any bugs or glitches."
"Informatica is user-friendly, stable, and scalable. These three aspects are the most valuable for us. If we can make it work well with the CRM, we can continue or try again this year to complete that part of the project. I am confident that this kind of solution is what we need because we have a third-party resource that works in the development."
"There are a couple of valuable features. One is that it is very quick on the profiling. So, you get a very fast snapshot of the type of data that you're looking at from the profiling perspective. It can highlight anomalies in the data."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"Informatica Persistent Data Masking can mask production data for different users, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information."
"It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer."
"The price modeling could be more flexible."
"The user interface of the product needs to be improved"
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"The UI and UX must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is comparable."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
"It's a costly solution"
"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."
