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.

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 profiling features are much better than the on-premise version."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."
"The out-of-the-box features and standard profiling options provide quick visibility of the data within minutes, which facilitates discussions with the business."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"It allows the creation of identical tasks that can be applied across multiple tables, ranging from 100 to even 1,000 tables."
"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

"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"I used to use this tool more but recently we have been using another tool that we feel is better because it handles spatial data. Informatica Cloud Data Quality could improve by adding the ability to handle spatial data."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
"The ability of the product to leverage the power of big data could be improved."
"The integration process is not easy."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for a yearly subscription."
"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"We got a 50% discount."
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"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."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
