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.

Industry-leading, easy to implement, and has good mapping specification guidelines
The good thing about OpenText is that we have the mapping specification guideline available, which is not there in a solution like SEEBURGER. Whenever you want to take a decision to move away from OpenText, you have already documented your mapping and what your mapping looks like. So you go to the next provider, provide them with that mapping specification, and it'll be very easy for them to develop a new map instead of just taking the data - input data, output data - and then looking for how the data is getting transformed. So you have the mapping spec level which is a very good feature of OpenText, which we do not have in SEEBURGER. It's very hard to move from SEEBURGER. The solution is easy to implement. It's stable and reliable. They are the industry leaders in the integration space.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services allows us to manage the entire data lifecycle in the insurance domain, supporting microservices architecture and leveraging AI and machine learning for data discovery, quality, and integration."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"The user-friendliness and performance of Informatica is quite impressive."
"The solution's scalability is high."
"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."
"The advanced features like task flow and conditional integration are particularly useful."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The good thing about OpenText is that we have the mapping specification guideline available, which is not there in a solution like SEEBURGER."
 

Cons

"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities."
"With limited data it's fine, but with a large volume the scalability is questionable, the threshold of data transaction is different."
"Informatica's issue is the licensing."
"Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough."
"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."
"The tool could be improved in terms of ease of use, particularly for those without technical expertise. Understanding and extracting data from the table-based structure requires some SQL knowledge and technical skills. Additionally, while Informatica MDM has moved towards a cloud-based MDM with a UI similar to Reltio, I haven't used it, so I can't comment on its effectiveness."
"The product is more expensive than other similar solutions."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"Technical support needs to be better."
"Technical support isn't the greatest. The transparency is less than you sometimes need."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"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."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"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."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"Licensing is difficult to understand, but the team is always available to explain anything. They are very helpful."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
