Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Has improved data integration speeds and strengthened security through secure authentication
In my experience, the best features Python Connectors offers are easy database connectivity, support for secure authentication, and encryption options. We have used encrypted connections and secure authentication methods, so no plain text credentials have helped us, and we found it effective. We found that Python Connectors is compliance-friendly, very secure, and has no plain text passwords or anything.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to clean out data and improve the data quality is the best feature."
"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."
"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is Master Data Management, and you can write code to build your logic rules to check the quality."
"We reduced product data setup time from 1.5 hours to 30 minutes."
"Customer service and technical support are excellent."
"Informatica MDM's most valuable feature is the interconnection between multiple Master Data domains."
"I am impressed by the solution's interface."
"We have matured as an organization with regards to better quality management, and we have evolved over time."
"Since we started to use Python Connectors, we found it very reliable, and there are many measurable benefits of this."
 

Cons

"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking."
"GUI is poor in IDQ"
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"Connectivity could be improved, it can be a little slow."
"Performance issues can be looked at Improved release documentation is expected because I feel that the current release document doesn't give you the clear picture of what has been fixed and what has not been fixed from previous versions."
"Python Connectors might get a little less costly, making it a common tool rather than being an expensive or fancy tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"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."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"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."
"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"The solution is very expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
