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

"The user-friendliness and performance of Informatica is quite impressive."
"The features that I have found most valuable are, first of all, that it comes as part of this whole bundle of Informatica tools. So if you've been implementing Informatica MDM across a business, you'd often find it comes with it. It's been thrown in as a sweetener. The adoption of it is often the challenge because as part of your MDM project, governance is seen as something beyond the MDM and is often restrictive. So this tool actually, for the first time, when you talk to data governance teams, gives a holistic view of what a data governance team can do with this tool."
"I have rated the stability a ten out of ten due to a high level of satisfaction."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."
"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."
"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"Informatica is user-friendly, stable, and scalable. These three aspects are the most valuable for us. If we can make it work well with the CRM, we can continue or try again this year to complete that part of the project. I am confident that this kind of solution is what we need because we have a third-party resource that works in the development."
"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality."
"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."
"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."
"Although we are very satisfied with the design of the UI, executing tasks with it can be difficult."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"Informatica goes down for maintenance quite a lot due to the upgrades."
"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"We got a 50% discount."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"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."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"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."
