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.

Useful to encrypt sensitive data or crown jewel data stored in various places within organizations
One of the most valuable features is the solution's integration with many leading industry solutions, both on-premises and cloud-based. It has API integration with a large number of technologies. The key management capability supports security protocols by providing an additional layer of security by separating duties. It's more secure to store encryption keys in a separate system like Thales rather than locally. If a database is compromised, the keys in Thales remain protected, making it harder for attackers to access the information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is applicable for both technical and business users."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"We are able to set rules, establish a data quality management platform, and monitor the quality."
"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."
"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."
"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"What I do appreciate about the cloud is the transparent update cycles with minimal downtime, all managed within the cloud environment, which definitely provides a better user experience."
"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's integration with many leading industry solutions, both on-premises and cloud-based. It has API integration with a large number of technologies."
"Transfer encryption is a great feature of Crypto Suite."
"Transfer encryption is a great feature of Crypto Suite, the solution is very user-friendly and enables us to provide the security of a database file folder layer."
 

Cons

"The setup is complex."
"With the solution, we had some issues, and we have every day, and we used to open a ticket. Sometimes, there are data issues and transformation issues."
"UI application performance was quite disappointing until v9.0.x, but with 9.5 and later versions, they have facelifted the UI."
"Data integration should be improved."
"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"The one thing that I think could be improved is connectivity with the Salesforce because if you're loading a huge amount of data, whatever optimization is carried out, takes some time and it could be a little faster."
"Exploring the possibility of incorporating AI capabilities that can suggest additional rules would significantly streamline our data analysis process following data profiling."
"Some feature sets could be improved, particularly alerting, reporting, and monitoring capabilities."
"Could be more agent-led with options for simplifying implementation."
"Customer support is reasonable on the whole but it could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"The pricing model is something that can be improved."
"The product is very expensive"
"The product is highly-priced."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
