Featured Reviews

Raj Sethupathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated
Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.

Good for diagnostics, stable, and has a straightforward setup, but lacks technology references
What's missing in the Talend MDM Platform is that it's not maintaining technology references. For example, my company needs a reference case if the platform has been implemented for a configuration that's similar to the client's required configuration. Currently, the client is still reluctant to roll out the Talend MDM Platform at a wider level because there's still no reference received from the Talend team.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Axon has something called Overlay, which can be used to extend the technical lineage."
"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"The solution offers good data governance."
"The product improves data quality."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"What I like about the Talend MDM Platform is that it's a good vendor diagnostic tool."
 

Cons

"They need more feature flexibility, as it is not fully developed."
"I would like to see better visuals for business users, such as a dashboard where they can precisely track where problems are."
"The integration process is not easy."
"We would like to have accessibility to the repository."
"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"Its features for partitioning and optimization could be better."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"What's missing in the Talend MDM Platform is that it's not maintaining technology references.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a high price point."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"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 Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."
"The price is comparable."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"The licensing cost for the Talend MDM Platform is paid yearly, but I'm unable to give you the figure. I would rate its price as four out of five because it's on the cheaper side. I'm not aware of any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for the Talend MDM Platform."
