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.

Offers predefined rules and easy to migrate data with minimum customisation of rules
The customization of the data needs improvement. We need to build basic SQL queries rather than being able to do it within the tool. We need to be able to analyze the SQL queries and then rerun them based on customer usage. We should be able to tune the existing process by using simple SQL queries based on the customer's requirements. In future releases, I would like to see more features around Preload and postload reports. From the end-user point of view, it is not very feasible to read. I need to know how the data has been migrated. I need to know whether the complete data has been migrated, only the required data has been migrated, and how it was migrated. So the postload reports will give validation between the source data and the target source. It would give exact picture of the data migration.

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 highly scalable solution."
"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"The valuable feature is metadata management. If you want to trace sensitive data, you can auto-classify them. You can search for sensitive information through EDC. Using Discovery, you can identify if there is any type of data set."
"The feature I found most valuable in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services is the mapping; you just drag and it maps the data, so mapping is very easy and it's no code."
"I like the connectivity and richness of features for the technical team, the maturity of the product, and that it had a cloud version. There is Informatica Cloud, and it is part of the Informatica Cloud platform."
"Informatica MDM is one of the best in the market in the master data management area."
"I have used a lot of MDM tools, and I've found that Informatica is the best solution out of all of them in terms of the architecture and user-friendliness."
"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."
"The major benefits of Syniti Data Quality stem from the productivity and flexibility it offers to users."
"The customer service and support is good."
"With Syniti Data Quality, you can integrate SAP and directly fix errors from Syniti Data Quality instead of logging into SAP and then fixing them."
"Syniti has built-in 80% of the solution, and we only need to customize 20 to 25% of the features. It is easy to run and pre-load reports."
 

Cons

"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel."
"Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work."
"The main issue preventing Brazilian companies from migrating to Informatica Cloud Data Integration from on-prem is the price."
"It can be improved in terms of performance and execution. I'm expecting better performance. It currently has some restrictions in terms of execution. For example, if we want to run it in the command mode and execute it, there are some restrictions, and we are facing some issues with a huge volume of data. These restrictions are not there in Informatica PowerCenter because we are able to execute a huge volume of data, and there are more ways to execute it."
"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."
"The downside of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is that it requires a developer to write rules and maintain the systems. This creates a significant cost and time burden."
"The one thing that I think could be improved is connectivity with the Salesforce because if you're loading a huge amount of data, whatever optimization is carried out, takes some time and it could be a little faster."
"The UI is extremely complex"
"The loading mechanisms and administration processes, particularly in setting up connections and deploying the system, need improvement."
"The customization of the data needs improvement. We need to build basic SQL queries rather than being able to do it within the tool. We need to be able to analyze the SQL queries and then rerun them based on customer usage."
"It would be good if Syniti Data Quality could integrate more AI in the future."
"In Syniti Data Quality, data extraction is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 pricing model is something that can be improved."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"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."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
