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.

Deliver short-term projects effectively while aiming for comprehensive customization
Regarding Syniti Master Data Management's features, there is a concept called data as a product. Looking at that term, Syniti Master Data Management lacks a few things as it is a customized solution we provide to the customer. The customer demands include four to five different elements, such as data cataloging or metadata management, data lineage, data quality, Master Data Management, and data freshness, which need to be integrated into one solution that currently I cannot see in any software. The main focus is more on Master Data Management. I recently had an interview where they pointed out that I only own 10% of what they are looking for. This also applies to Syniti Master Data Management, which is more focused on creating golden records, but at an organization level, they need a more concrete solution from just one platform or vendor. Other solutions such as Informatica are moving toward Customer 360 degrees and Product 360 degrees, integrating easily into environments, while Syniti Master Data Management is somewhat lacking in customizing solutions based on customer needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"Informatica provides a comprehensive solution for on-the-fly or real-time data masking."
"Initial setup was fairly easy."
"Informatica MDM is one of the best in the market in the master data management area."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"It gives you accountability to centralize your data and have it available to different applications."
"The central data repository feature in Syniti Master Data Management is wonderful; it is an excellent feature, in my opinion."
 

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."
"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used. Each customer purchases a certain amount of IPUs per month, but you can use more or less than that defined quantity. The only problem is if you don't use the all your IPUs, they don't carry over into the next month. I think customers should have the ability to transfer unused IPUs into the next month or year. This improvement could help give customers more flexibility, especially since cloud solutions need flexibility in how we use and pay for them."
"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."
"Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a two out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy."
"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."
"The ability of the product to leverage the power of big data could be improved."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals."
"Syniti Master Data Management is more focused on creating golden records, but at an organization level, they need a more concrete solution from just one platform or vendor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs attached to the solution are pretty high, but then, with the cloud model, the prices depend on what it provides for the value of money, which I feel was very high."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"We got a 50% discount."
"The product has a high price point."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
