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 management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data mapping capability is a valuable feature."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance. Everything can be built under one particular umbrella. If any issues come up, then there won't be any blame game saying that it could be an integration issue or an MDM hub issue because it's wholly owned by Informatica. That's the biggest advantage of Informatica MDM over that of any other tools that are available on the market."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"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."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
 

Cons

"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."
"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."
"We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer."
"I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"We would like to have accessibility to the repository."
"The integration process is not easy."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform has a premium cost. I rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"The product is very expensive"
"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."
