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.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs

The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."

"The most valuable features are data quality, data integrate transformations, match-merge, and a few MDM solutions we build into data quality transformation."

"The product improves data quality."

"The MDM solution is capable of integrating multiple systems, so it helped us to solve the purpose of centralizing the depository as well as the standardization of mass data. It takes away all the ambiguity around data integrity issues or all the process challenges which happen when every stage of a process uses a different source as master data."

"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."

"I do a quite a lot of data transformations, and the fact that I can do them without changing any of my SQL queries from the code, using the inbuilt tools, is very helpful."

"In the latest version, I like the outlay of the business roles creation. I like seeing that visualization as you're building it, as opposed to going through metatables or XML mappings. We liked that piece, and it makes it more intuitive for the business."

"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"The customer service executives are very responsive."

"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."

"The solution basically conforms to our standards."

"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."

"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."

"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."

"The stability is excellent."

"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."

Cons

"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a two out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy."

"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."

"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."

"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."

"If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it."

"The initial setup was not very straightforward. Not complex, but not very simple either."

"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready. They need to add more features, such as improved data replication features. If you look at other tools, such as Matillion they are now cloud-native and flexible. Additionally, Informatica Cloud Data Integration should have a good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to Informatica Cloud Data Integration."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."

"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."

"They should release upgrades more frequently."

"You cannot include the validation of XPath."

"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."

"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."

"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."

"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 an expensive solution."

"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."

"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."

"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."

"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."

"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pricing and cost advice

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
