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 highly scalable and flexible solution that has excellent workflows and provides fast technical support
I am satisfied with the product. The documentation is getting better. I rate the documentation a six out of ten. We use the capability of this product to use other products like IBM to move data. The solution's workflows are its best feature. The tool is workflow-based and is very useful for integration. It is a hub for our clients. It is very useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"On a scale of 1-10, I rate Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) a 10 out of 10."
"Having access to PIM production, we get all the details of the supplier from here and we also get to update the information on the master catalog for urgent tasks."
"The advanced features like task flow and conditional integration are particularly useful."
"It's great as a unified enterprise data management platform."
"The solution offers good data governance."
"New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded."
"The valuable features include ease of use and quick response time with Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services; the performance and response time are notably faster."
"This product is the most agile way to use all of the data capabilities and data services that you need to exploit in your company."
"The tool has good scalability and flexibility."
 

Cons

"From my point of view, a quick response time is needed when searching for an item."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"I definitely will not recommend Informatica Cloud Data Quality because it's very hard to manage the licensing model and the price is very high."
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"There are not many consultants who know the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"The product is highly-priced."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The pricing is aligned with other products."
