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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A great product enrichment tool."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bulk upload. We upload files in CSV or Excel format."
"I do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"I use AddressDoctor to validate addresses on an e-commerce site; it is simple to use and the results are always correct."
"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
"The solution scales well."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"You cannot import the data discovery rules you create in the solution to the Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC)."
"Some capabilities from the cloud version are not included in the on-premises version, such as the ability to create dashboards that show the whole of the metrics and the metrics of quality of the information you are analyzing."
"The ability of the product to leverage the power of big data could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the Data Marketplace aspect."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"In terms of data volume processing, Intelligent Cloud Services does not match the efficiency of Power Center."
"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."
"The UI and UX must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for a yearly subscription."
"The licensing costs attached to the solution are pretty high, but then, with the cloud model, the prices depend on what it provides for the value of money, which I feel was very high."
"The product is highly-priced."
"The price is comparable."
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"It's an expensive solution."
