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.

A cloud solution that has a lot of connectors, but it should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples
Smaller customers who want to integrate with other systems don't need too much in-house expertise in terms of technology. They can hire consultants who can implement this solution for them, and they don't have to maintain any infrastructure. For a smaller setup, it is a go-to integration system wherein they don't need a lot of expertise or infrastructure. The solution's UI is pretty intuitive and easy. It is good for smaller integration use cases. I think it would be a problem for bigger use cases. Overall, I rate TIBCO Scribe a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data quality component is very good."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution to others."
"The most valuable feature for me is the easy interface; it has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"We had a bad experience before Informatica Cloud Data Quality, we started a data analytics project that took more than three months of wasted time because we couldn't use the data to create the optimization model."
"Product-wise, compared to other on-premise tools, Informatica Cloud Data Integration can be deployed on-premises and cloud."
"So far, we have been pleased with its capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"Informatica Axon does not provide complete transparency about the level of detailing you need and the logic used in ETL."
"The initial setup of Informatica MDM is more complex than it should be."
"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools."
"The integration with other data management tools can be enhanced. For instance, there is no integration with tools like Collibra or Hubview."
"Performance issues can be looked at Improved release documentation is expected because I feel that the current release document doesn't give you the clear picture of what has been fixed and what has not been fixed from previous versions."
"The tool is quite good overall, but sometimes the number of modules can be overwhelming. If the development interface could be optimized to have fewer modules, it would be greatly beneficial."
"Informatica products are always increasing in price. Nowadays, many of their customers are leaving and seeking other data integration tools."
"The customer servive and support could be faster. There is a slow turnaround."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."
"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."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"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."
"The price is neither too high nor too low."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
