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.

Consulting team maximizes cloud features while seeking workflow improvements
We are quite satisfied with the solution. The only issue we face is with the workflow feature. Every time we need to deploy our workflows, we must contact the Reltio Support Center. We have to rely on their availability and write to them to receive the required JAR files. They are slow to respond to these requests.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"The solution provides increased efficiency while still being user-friendly and easy to operate."
"I do a quite a lot of data transformations, and the fact that I can do them without changing any of my SQL queries from the code, using the inbuilt tools, is very helpful."
"The solution is easier to use compared to the other solutions."
"The tool does give a good ROI."
"The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"The data quality component is very good."
"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."
"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."
"Reltio Cloud has positively impacted my organization because we were able to promote our data and sell data to our customers."
"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."
"We can store the data and enrich it from multiple sources."
"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."
"The cloud feature is very beneficial, and the scalability performance feature is excellent."
"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."
 

Cons

"Their UI needs improvement. Their scorecards and reporting also need improvement. Their data quality reporting, especially their dashboards and scorecards, is lackluster at best. Its reporting capabilities are limited. If you want to do anything beyond its limited reporting capabilities, then you're going to have to use an external reporting tool such as Power BI or something like that."
"In general, it is good. We used to face some Java application problems, approximately two issues a month."
"Although we are very satisfied with the design of the UI, executing tasks with it can be difficult."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"When we compared Informatica to SAP, we realized that we lose the ability to integrate easily with our SAP business applications"
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"Reltio Cloud can be improved by providing the possibility to connect with other connectors and databases such as Snowflake, Databricks, and eventually with Azure Data Factory."
"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."
"The customer support is adequate, but not exceptional."
"Initially, the UI was limited in features."
"AI features should be introduced in Reltio more."
"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."
"The deployment is difficult."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"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."
"Informatica Cloud Data Quality is a costly solution."
"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."
"We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"Informatica is very expensive."
