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.

Data pipelines have become streamlined and now connect diverse sources with strong support
How Rivery can be improved is a challenging question, but I think something with the graphics could be better because when there is a lot of code inside, it needs to be more user-friendly. I am not talking about the source-to-target, but when we implement a lot of code, you need a different visual of how you use it, such as what you see in DBT. There is a problem where sometimes I run a river and something in the UI does not get refreshed because I think of browser cache limits, which is annoying. I always need to refresh, and then I am not sure, so I have to go inside the river and look in the log to see if it has finished or not, which takes my time. At the end of the day, when I am running the river, I need it to be done before I go to the next step. Something in the UI could work more smoothly to show it easily. I am not sure why it happens, and I am not sure if there is a solution for it, but if it could be more clear, that would be very nice, such as sending an email once the river is really done.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the rule specification."
"The feature that allows me to search across the entire organizational database and then look through what objects are in which tables and which locations is quite handy."
"The scalability is very high."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"The features for data quality, data cataloging, and UI are excellent."
"The solution's technical support is pretty good, especially since the turnaround time is good."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to create a stable pipeline, and we can expand the variety of the data sources as we go very easily, with no worries, and with a lot of confidence in the fact that it can be done."
"Connects to many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by helping me streamline my data ingestion and transformation processes, especially in combination with Snowflake."
 

Cons

"Exploring the possibility of incorporating AI capabilities that can suggest additional rules would significantly streamline our data analysis process following data profiling."
"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
"Lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was unfortunately not so good in my recent data project."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"The product has a high price point."
"The price is comparable."
"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."
"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."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
