Offers numerous prebuilt data quality plans that can be reused for various data cleansing tasks
We had many duplicates originating from different source systems. We were able to match and deduplicate a significant amount of data. Additionally, we could synchronize and write back the latest information to the systems that were out of sync, ensuring they had the most recent data. As a result, we could write back and update the source systems.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One great feature with OmniGen is the time it takes to develop and deploy to production."
"Ibi Data Quality offers numerous prebuilt data quality plans that can be reused for various data cleansing tasks. Additionally, it provides a variety of prebuilt match and merge rules for performing master data management,"
"Works quickly to develop and deploy to production."
"I use AddressDoctor to validate addresses on an e-commerce site; it is simple to use and the results are always correct."
"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."
"The product seems stable enough."
"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"The process of using the tool's scalability option is well documented."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution to others."
"It's a great solution, and I was happy with it."
"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
 

Cons

"Their data governance portal can be improved. It lacks data governance-related features. Also, PII and anomaly detection could be valuable use cases for ibi. Adding these features would be a great enhancement."
"The special integration support is something that could be improved in the solution."
"I have a lot of issues with their customer support and not getting the required technical information, which we actually need unless you can do a call with their senior technicians."
"The UI is extremely complex"
"I would like to see more API integration to have the capability to build a report using other third party reporting tools allowing things to be streamlined."
"The biggest pain point for us is the documentation."
"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."
"Their data quality reporting, especially their dashboards and scorecards, is lackluster at best."
"UI application performance was quite disappointing until v9.0.x, but with 9.5 and later versions, they have facelifted the UI."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."
"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."
"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"Informatica MDM is a costly solution because it comes as a bundle. They are also globally positioning themselves and are definitely working on very upgraded technologies. If someone wanted to do it on the cloud, they have a lot of flexibility because they upgrade themselves according to the current needs. It definitely comes with a lot of features and that's the reason why it's costly. The licensing cost should be approximately one million dollars. It's about four to five times that of other vendors."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price and ten is the highest price."
"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."
"it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
