A wide range of solutions exist because data is primary, and my company looks over many overall data management solutions, from which Informatica Data Quality becomes one of our biggest priorities.

I cannot just go into details of the product's features randomly because if you look at a very wide range of overall requirements, be it Informatica or Talend or more data lake solutions like Snowflake. My company goes through an entire range of areas, making it difficult for me to just speak about the features.

Accuracy is one of the key areas a client looks at before using a solution. Considering internal data from legacy systems, it is quite difficult to know if Informatica Data Quality meets that high level of accuracy criteria. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the solution.

I have been a consultant for Informatica Data Quality for two years in my company. I don't directly use the solution.

From a stability point of view, I haven't heard of any complaints about the solution from any of my company's clients who use it.

I don't go into the technical side of Informatica Data Quality much since I mostly work on the procurement side and market knowledge area related to the product. Scalability remains one of the requirements of the clients who buy the product, especially for future growth. My company caters to a mixture of clients, consisting of small, medium, and enterprise-sized businesses.

I do not go into the complete deployment areas of Informatica Data Quality.

The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud.

Informatica Data Quality is a product that is worth the money.

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 do look at a number of data quality tools, but Informatica, Talend, and Ataccama are a few of the top solutions I have come across.

My company deals with Informatica Data Quality since Informatica is a big vendor in the overall data management area.

I won't be able to speak on how I can recommend the solution to others since my suggestions will have to be based on the product's features and technical details. I wouldn't be able to point out anything about the product in detail, especially since I am not much of an end user.

Based on the feedback that I have received about the product from my company's customers, I rate the overall product a seven or eight out of ten.

Our use cases were related to the financial and banking sectors. We created data and transferred it to the enterprise level.

The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely.

The solution should improve its integration.

I have been using the product for three years.

Informatica Axon is stable.

The product is scalable.

The tool's support is fine.

Informatica Axon's deployment is straightforward.

I rate the product an eight out of ten.

My company does not specifically focus on selling the solution to a particular sector. My company generally sells the solution to various sectors, including manufacturing and finance.

Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog is a compact tool. Many products operate as a data system solution or as a data catalog tool. The product is helpful when it comes to data transformation. If you would like to solve specific data-related problems, Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog can serve as a useful product.

I cannot specifically point out an area in Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog that needs improvement since it properly functions as a data catalog tool. You cannot use something like Atlas to get catalog ranges, making Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog a comparatively powerful tool. The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future.

If I want to get some extra features in the product, I can contact Informatica's research and development team, who can add some new features to the product and make the tool available in the market.

I have been using Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog for more than ten years. My company has a partnership with Informatica.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Though there are some bugs in the solution, Informatica's research and development team, along with Informatica's customer service team, supports my company in solving such bug-related issues.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog can be a good solution that is really easy to use when it comes to enterprise-sized companies, but it may pose some challenges for small and medium-sized companies.

Most companies to whom my company provides the solution are enterprise-sized businesses.

I rate the technical support a ten out of ten. My company has a partnership with Informatica, and we provide Informatica's products to the end users or customers. Informatica has to provide my company with good support in order to hold on to its customers who deal with my company.

I rate the product's initial setup a nine and a half to ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

Most of the companies to whom my company provides the solution deploy it on an on-premises model. My company also sells the cloud version of the solution while also offering our customers the option to move from on-premises to the cloud version of the solution.

My wife runs a pharmacy, and she uses an ERP solution for sales-related activities, the data of which I can move to the cloud in ten minutes if she chooses Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog.

With Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog, measuring the return on investment can be hard. I rate the return on investment a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is zero return on investment, and ten is a hundred percent return on investment.

The price of the product is something that may vary from customer to customer. I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

If a customer or business wants to easily maintain their data domains, they can opt for Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog.

I rate the overall product an eight to nine out of ten.

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

We have implemented both data profiling and data quality transformations for data validation. These are the two major components we rely on, with data profiling helping us understand the data's characteristics, and data quality transformations ensuring data validation.

Exploring the possibility of incorporating AI capabilities that can suggest additional rules would significantly streamline our data analysis process following data profiling. Many other tools offer this feature, enabling them to suggest rules, which can be generated with just one or two clicks.

I have been working with it for almost seven years.

Once it was implemented, we din not encounter any stability issues. I would rate it nine out of ten.

The scalability of the solution depends heavily on the design approach. Regardless of the tool used, the effectiveness of the data quality framework hinges on proper design. If the framework is not well-designed, it may not deliver the desired results. I would rate it eight out of ten.

We receive excellent support on a priority basis. I would rate it nine out of ten.

I would rate the installation and configuration process as moderately complex.

If it has been implemented effectively, I would say it is the best solution. When considering the use of the data governance package, combining Axon ADC and Informatica Data Quality together provides a comprehensive approach. I would rate it eight out of ten.

The use cases attached to Informatica MDM may vary for different industries. Suppose I talk about industries related to healthcare and life sciences. In the aforementioned scenario related to healthcare and life sciences, there have been situations where a lot of sales representatives have issues while trying to set up calls with different physicians. Informatica or any MDM solution usually helps people in the healthcare industry optimize their business processes, especially when setting up calls with different physicians. Typically, Informatica MDM helps to reduce the number of duplicate details related to a physician or the data related to a particular organization data so that the sales representatives don't end up sending duplicate call invites to the same physician, especially those physicians who have probably different versions of their own name.

I think the integration feature is probably one of the key features in Informatica MDM. When compared to other Indian products, Informatica MDM has an edge due to its integration capabilities.

I don't see any area of improvement required when it comes to Informatica MDM since it is one of the leading products in the market. Some unification in Informatica MDM's UI side would probably make it better. I find Reltio more intuitive when compared to Informatica MDM's UI. Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough. Informatica MDM's UI can be made a bit more intuitive.

I think all the latest up-to-date features are made available in Informatica solution. When it comes to Informatica MDM, all the features are mostly included, because of which there is nothing that needs to be added.

The long response time taken by the technical team of Informatica can be considered for improvement.

I have experience with Informatica MDM. I currently work for a company that has an alliance partnership with Informatica. I use Informatica to develop MDM solutions for my company's clients. I work as a solution provider since my company wants its employees to work as middlemen for Informatica products. In my company, we use Informatica to build solutions for clients. I use the latest version of Informatica MDM.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

If it is for a single region deployment, the number of users who use the solution can vary somewhere between ten to fifteen, but if it is for a global deployment, then there could be hundreds of users who would use the solution.

The solution is used on a daily basis in my organization.

If there is a super high-priority issue, then the technical team of Informatica is super responsive. However, if it is a low-priority issue, they usually take a little longer than their usual response time. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

When it comes to Informatica MDM, it is mostly a cloud or SaaS-based product, because of which the configuration or setup phases may not pose a challenge. Most of the MDM solutions are now SaaS-based products that the product vendor maintains, and so such products are mostly accessed through web URLs over the cloud. Right now, any configuration or setup is not challenging, which used to be the case several years ago when these solutions were deployed on an on-premises model, because of which installation and other such procedures were required. Currently, most products are SaaS-based solutions, so there are no such challenges with respect to setup.

I rate the initial setup phase of Informatica MDM as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Predominantly, Informatica MDM gets deployed on a public cloud. There is a provision to go ahead with if any of our company's clients want the product to be deployed on a private cloud, but it comes at a very high cost.

The time taken for the end-to-end deployment process depends on the complexity of the project that you are working on, but if I have to give you a standard answer, it would be approximately six months to start from scratch until production goes live.

Considering the members from the production and UAT departments, the UAT department dealt with the product for three weeks, and the overall deployment process took place over a month to a month and a half. Around eight staff members were required for the deployment process, including an Informatica developer responsible for configurations, a lead developer, two people for integration, a project manager, and one solution architect.

One of the in-house teams in my company carried out the deployment process.

I would say that the return on investment from the use of the solution is fairly good.

I rate the product's ROI a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is zero percent return on investment, and ten is one hundred percent return on investment.

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 product does come at a certain cost since it is one of the best products in the market. The payments for the solution are made on a subscription-based model, meaning it is a pay-as-you-go model. In general, the costs attached to the solution depend on its usage.

The costs, in addition to the standard licensing fees for the solution, depend on users' requirements.

The people required for the maintenance of Informatica MDM depend upon the requirements of the clients who use the product.

I would say that a team of five people that includes a solution architect who operates in a partial capacity would be good enough to take care of Informatica MDM's maintenance phase.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for mass data management.

The tool's most valuable feature is bulk upload. We upload files in CSV or Excel format.

Informatica Axon needs to improve its interface.

I have been working with the solution for three years.

Informatica Axon's support is good.

I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We use Informatica MDM to enable the master data for getting the customer's product 360.

Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability.

Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities.

I have been using Informatica MDM for five to six years.

Informatica MDM is quite a stable solution. I rate Informatica MDM a nine out of ten for stability.

Informatica MDM is quite a scalable solution. Most of our clients for Informatica MDM are enterprise businesses.

Usually, it takes six to eight months to deploy Informatica MDM.

Master Data Management is always only 20% implementation; the remaining 80% defines all other components. So, if users have the right process, the tool will do its job. The tool will do whatever we give input for.

Informatica MDM is quite a good product in terms of mastering all the data and ensuring that we will be able to get a 360 degree of the master data.

Overall, I rate Informatica MDM a nine out of ten.

We are using it for multiple purposes, such as real-time data integration and data migration. It allows seamless integration of various cloud-based applications and services.

The solution provides increased efficiency while still being user-friendly and easy to operate. It includes built-in features that ensure data consistency and accuracy, resulting in excellent data quality.

It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality. It would ensure improved decision-making processes and better insights.

I have been using this solution for three to four years.

Our experience with the stability has been quite good. I would rate it nine out of ten.

The solution's scalability is one of its key aspects. It facilitates the scaling of data integration capabilities based on customer's needs.

The deployment process depends on the client's requests. If it requires complex tools and features, the process will take longer. But for normal operations, it is really easy and not very time-consuming.

I have been very satisfied with the feedback I was getting with Informatica Cloud Data Integration. Its automated performance enables the processing and integration of large volumes of data quickly and efficiently. I would rate this solution nine out of ten.

So my use case was on migration. I've been using these products for migration activities. And providing any QA solution for the integration to other platforms like Databricks.

There are newer technologies in the market that offer better solutions compared to traditional ETL operations. For example, if we use Spark on Databricks, it's more optimized and runs much faster due to its backend capabilities. Whereas Informatica Inc.'s Cloud Services provide cloud-based solutions. The ETL works on the Informatica engine, which is comparatively slow. But the compatibility of data and other integration and data warehouse works well for IICS.

The interface is really good. Another valuable feature is that it is user-friendly.

There are a few improvements which can be done. So those are on data governance and making an image of each object that is being created on top of Informatica, I mean, on top of applications. So those need areas to be improved.

The logging methods are really traditional. So logging, in order to track any operations happening on this interface, will catch a log file. That needs to be more precise.

In future releases as well, I would like to see additional features. So there is no platform where code conversion can happen easily. For example, if you want to move Informatica jobs in various areas, it's quite easy and straightforward. But still, you require some manual intervention for code changes that need to be done throughout the platform. So these things need to be improved.

And other things are the compatibility of other services. For example, if you have a running Spark code and you want to run the Spark code into Informatica IICS, which is not compatible, so you need to rewrite the whole syntax to make it compatible. So those are the areas that really need improvement.

I have been using Informatica for three years. We currently use the version Informatica Cloud IICS.

Stability is good. I would rate it a seven out of ten.

Scalability is good since from on-prem to cloud, there's a huge performance boost. So on a scale from one to ten, I would rate it eight.

The setup is complex. Because it's not about the data; it's about the complexity of the pipeline, the complexity of models which have been designed for data engineering. And it's not something straightforward, and the migration cost goes higher on this aspect for this reason.

We have multiple platforms with it. Some of them are running on-prem, and some of them are running on the cloud.

There is definitely an ROI because many companies are preferring to put data in the cloud, and they want to reduce the migration cost. So without any major efforts or challenges in the migration activities, if that's the case, then moving from Informatica on-prem to IICS is a better choice.

Comparatively, other services are providing a lower price, but since moving from Informatica on-prem to IICS, the pricing factor is much better. So when we compare two platforms of the same vendor, it's a good price.

On the evaluation, I have personally evaluated the migration work that I have done. So it is really easy for Informatica users who have been using the same on-prem product. For them, there won't be any challenges in learning any technical aspects of the cloud. So it is almost straightforward. And there are good services provided by Informatica, like integrated things and driver compatibility. So, everything looks much better when it is in the cloud.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use Informatica Cloud Data Integration for data integration and building data pipelines.

It is one of the best tools available for data integration.

Though it is a robust tool, the cloud version could be better in terms of pricing.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable product and works better than other cloud solutions. It is extensively used by 15 users in our organization. We have plans to increase the usage.

The product's technical support team is helpful and responsive.

The product's deployment process is easy. It requires two system engineers to support our consultant in setting up the environment. They have to consider how to connect it to an ecosystem of other tools, databases, and data sources.

The product generates a return on investment. It speeds up the development process.

The product is highly-priced.

I recommend Informatica Cloud Data Integration to others. It is user-friendly and supports connectivity to almost all devices. It has great technical support services as well.

I rate it an eight out of ten.
