Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.

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 mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"The solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
"I definitely would recommend the Informatica solution to other people."
"I give the stability a ten out of ten."
"A great product enrichment tool."
"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."
"New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
 

Cons

"Considering internal data from legacy systems, it is quite difficult to know if Informatica Data Quality meets that high level of accuracy criteria."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"The solution should improve its integration."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"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."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
