Match and merge functionality is still the best but cloud version needs more functionality
There are various areas for improvement in IDMC. Enhancements on basic data management functionality and the UI front, such as multiple templates and improved grid views, would be beneficial. Bulk data management features could be improved from the UI perspective to get to the level of the on prem versions of Informatica MDM. The tool needs to mature but missing small but important features, like restricted dynamic attributes functionality, data inheritance rules in master hierachies, identifiers not being passed in jobs is a drawback.
RahulSoni - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers features that pinpoints locations with maps and provides reporting about data performance and completeness
Until I work with a customer, I won't be able to recognize the performance regarding the integration of records, especially when records are coming in as a full load or a delta after an initial load. I have to check how it performs in the integration part when pushing the entire data into MDM. Most tools have a downside in this area. So far, I have not faced any other problems regarding Reltio. I just did a certification and the provided hands-on exercises. I didn't find anything concerning, but I would definitely want to use the AI features introduced in Reltio more. The Hands-on Lab in the certification allows you to try out certain AI features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"It's a stable product without any bugs or glitches."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."
"The data mapping capability is a valuable feature."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"The survivorship feature is great because we can define it, prioritize the sources, and only allow those sources to survive when making the golden record."
"We can store the data and enrich it from multiple sources."
"The cloud feature is very beneficial, and the scalability performance feature is excellent."
"It is very easy to learn. The"
"The most valuable feature is real-time synchronization. You can see the events as soon as they are posted within a couple of fraction seconds."
"There are default limitations and considerations. For instance, Reltio can store a maximum of 200 values for a single attribute. If your data exceeds this limit, you can request Reltio support to increase the limit. However, be aware that increasing this limit may impact performance, potentially slowing down data loading times."
"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."
"The matching feature of Reltio Cloud is highly effective compared to many other tools available. Additionally, it is almost ready to use out-of-the-box, reducing the implementation time."
 

Cons

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"One area that could use improvement is the speed of the web interfaces. At present, they are very slow. I think it is essential that we are original and robust on-premises."
"The main issue preventing Brazilian companies from migrating to Informatica Cloud Data Integration from on-prem is the price."
"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."
"The deployment is difficult."
"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."
"There is some lag in developing new features for specific business requirements. If a new feature is needed, we have to raise a request in the developer portal through the IDEA portal. This process takes time to develop, which can be a drawback when immediate business needs arise."
"Sometimes, the service goes down for maintenance or when we run a lot of jobs so things get pushed to the queue and results don't get delivered on time."
"The download process can be quite slow"
