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.

A cloud solution that has a lot of connectors, but it should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples
Smaller customers who want to integrate with other systems don't need too much in-house expertise in terms of technology. They can hire consultants who can implement this solution for them, and they don't have to maintain any infrastructure. For a smaller setup, it is a go-to integration system wherein they don't need a lot of expertise or infrastructure. The solution's UI is pretty intuitive and easy. It is good for smaller integration use cases. I think it would be a problem for bigger use cases. Overall, I rate TIBCO Scribe a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support and Informatica Professional Services are friendly and helpful."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"The setup was very straightforward; once the agent is installed, you can then be up and running."
"The cost of the product is high, but feature wise, it provides a whole lot of features that can easily solve your problems."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data."
"I would like to see support for more data sources."
"New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We pay for a yearly subscription."
"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."
"So, there are plans for licensing. There are subscription-based and usage-based licenses. Also, there are licenses for exceptional analytics, etc. In short, there are different models of licensing for every enterprise."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
