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.

Integrates well and helpful support
Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company. We use the data that other tools provide in our implementation. We have developed several processes here in the company, such as requests for change, request development, and buying processes. The tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, the administrator can move the process one step to another without needing to be implemented in the logic of the automation, this can be done from the administration console Or with the integration EIK, there is a wide number of options for the administrator who gives you great flexibility in your administration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product seems stable enough."
"​The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them."
"I think the most valuable part of Informatica is the flexibility in extending the data model."
"I am impressed by the solution's interface."
"What took 10 hours to do in the on-prem version, takes less than an hour in the cloud."
"The valuable features include ease of use and quick response time with Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services; the performance and response time are notably faster."
"The process of using the tool's scalability option is well documented."
"The match and merge functionality is invaluable for discovering golden master data records."
"Development is easy on the Ultimus platform."
"Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company, and the tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, giving great flexibility in administration."
 

Cons

"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work."
"There are challenges when we use Cloud Application Integration (CAI). The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"This is a costly solution."
"The regions in which the data resides are still limited. This could be an issue in terms of the data residency laws of some of the countries. They should get more regions."
"The setup is complex."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"We are looking for a feature that can resign and move the process from one step to another step."
"Ultimus is not good at handling cash transactions. They should add a mobile application in the next release."
"The tool does not save the reprocessing of the steps, this has to be done with own implementations, stores the whole story of a process instance but in a non-processable format for statistics without doing prior job."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of the licensing for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, we had the option of paying based on the number of users and paying based on the volume of data, and we went with the data volume licensing option. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services isn't as expensive as CIG. The pricing for it is okay, so I'm rating it a four out of five in terms of pricing. We did use the email verification and address validation services which weren't part of the contract, so we had to pay additional fees for those services."
"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 platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"The product has a high price point."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"Our customers sometimes are able to negotiate a much better price for Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on their relationship with the vendor."
"Ultimus could stand to lower the price. Other tools are cheaper."
