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.

Targeted prospecting has increased campaign success and accelerates pipeline growth
The best features ZoomInfo offers include prospect call numbers, account-based prospecting and insights, integration with other systems, prospect contact information, and positioning with each company. I love the advanced search option which allows us to narrow down search results. I find myself using all of the features the most because they are very helpful and robust as they provide detailed company information where we are able to look at that company and know what we will do after that. ZoomInfo provides prospect contact information and position with each company. It provides advanced search options which allow us to narrow down search results easily and make data-driven decisions easily. Tracking people movement is easy, and Account IQ on accounts most likely to engage is very good. ZoomInfo has positively impacted our organization since we started using this tool by streamlining potential contacts in our organization. It speeds making contact by providing accurate email and phone numbers. It fits into our sales pipeline by transferring data directly to Pipedrive. Since using ZoomInfo, we have seen an increase in our sales campaign by fifty percent. We also achieve better account booking targets. The intent-based approach gives us better conversion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution allows you to easily access and make use of information that you have in your on-premises environment."
"The most beneficial feature of Informatica Cloud Data Quality is it's cloud-based."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"The data integration and synchronization features in IICS improve the data handling processes."
"With my firm, our use of Informatica Cloud is primarily to implement a set of financial integrations from various accounting systems into a Salesforce environment, and by leveraging Informatica Cloud Mapping Designer, we were able to create sets of reusable templates that were source agnostic, making supporting the integration for hundreds of customers feasible with just a small team of integration specialists."
"Troubleshooting is very easy and I believe performance is better than any other tool."
"We reduced product data setup time from 1.5 hours to 30 minutes."
"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."
"Before using ZoomInfo, my experiences with other apps left me with no clients, outdated information, and zero responsiveness, and after switching to ZoomInfo, I closed three deals on the first day and suggested my company encourage all interns and my team to use ZoomInfo for lead generation, which saved us time and improved our client acquisition significantly."
"The best features are all the tools on the back end that help me filter for the prospects that I'm trying to reach, saving me a lot of time and enabling me to book more meetings, generating more opportunities for our sales team and therefore more revenue."
"The data provided is really rich and the email and phone number effectiveness rate have been astonishing."
"Overall, it is a great tool, very easy to use, user-friendly, and cost-effective."
"The technical support team has been very responsive and helpful."
"ZoomInfo's data refreshment helps overcome those issues. Overall, it's very user-friendly in terms of filtering and data accuracy."
"One other thing I have noticed about ZoomInfo's features is that I appreciate their focus on intent data and how they are trying to surface accounts that are more in market, using a bunch of different data sources for that."
"Sometimes, when working on Indian accounts, we need direct contact numbers. In such cases, ZoomInfo is useful for our data research."
 

Cons

"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"I think the price modeling could be improved."
"One is the insight into the data lineage which was a huge promise made by the product, but one that it never delivered in practice."
"Informatica MDM could improve the interdependency with integration."
"The configurations could be better. It is a bit confusing because we must develop two tools when building a data model in Informatica MDM. Even though Informatica MDM is a single tool, we have our hub console plus the provisioning tool within that. Whatever data model we are building in the hub console, we have to develop it in the provisioning tool again. It is double the work to create a data model. We are also using external calls or the Java custom plans functions. This can be both positive and negative. Since MDM as a client does not support any complex validation, we have to depend on the external call or a Java call. Every time we deployed, the entire solution was impacted if something went wrong."
"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used. Each customer purchases a certain amount of IPUs per month, but you can use more or less than that defined quantity. The only problem is if you don't use the all your IPUs, they don't carry over into the next month. I think customers should have the ability to transfer unused IPUs into the next month or year. This improvement could help give customers more flexibility, especially since cloud solutions need flexibility in how we use and pay for them."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"UI application performance was quite disappointing until v9.0.x, but with 9.5 and later versions, they have facelifted the UI."
"I think ZoomInfo can be improved by getting the accuracy closer to 99%, as I mentioned it's about 95% accurate, but we do run the information through a secondary source just to validate the bounces, so that would just be great for us and I wouldn't have to run the information through another tool."
"The implementation process must be improved."
"Most of the time the information is old."
"I think ZoomInfo can be improved because their number accuracy is still an issue."
"ZoomInfo can be improved as listing management can be more intuitive."
"The pricing is way too high."
"Most of the time the accuracy is definitely there, although there are instances where it was a company number rather than the actual person, and some information was outdated, such as when the person's name or information reflects someone who has already retired from the company, yet the system still listed that information."
"The team should look into enriching their database, especially for the European and Middle East region."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very high and has become a big concern for our customers who require the solution in order for their business to function smoothly."
"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
"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."
"We pay for a yearly subscription."
"The solution's pricing model is easy, but it is very expensive."
"There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The tool costs around 10-15 dollars a month. It is a bit expensive."
