We performed a comparison between IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer and Informatica Data Quality based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Quality solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What's most useful in IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is you can access it from anywhere. It's also pretty easy to learn, so even non-technical business people use it and found the solution easy to learn."
"You can also schedule and run data quality on the critical data elements on the databases."
"Informatica Data Quality is a product that is worth the money."
"The solution is applicable for both technical and business users."
"I do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset."
"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"I am impressed by the solution's interface."
"I give the stability a ten out of ten."
"Seeing the data in the mapping itself is really nice."
"The most valuable features are data quality, data integrate transformations, match-merge, and a few MDM solutions we build into data quality transformation."
"What could be improved or added to IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is more connectors. This solution comes in a package with IBM InfoSphere DataStage and is missing a lot of connectors to various, new data sources, so IBM needs to work on that area. Compared with competitors such as Informatica and Alation which acquired other small companies to work on the connectors, IBM has not done any testing and has tried to develop the connectors in-house, but that's taking a lot of time. As a result, my company is unable to connect to a lot of data sources, particularly modern data sources."
"The solution is outdated and is not on cloud."
"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"It can be improved in terms of performance and execution. I'm expecting better performance. It currently has some restrictions in terms of execution. For example, if we want to run it in the command mode and execute it, there are some restrictions, and we are facing some issues with a huge volume of data. These restrictions are not there in Informatica PowerCenter because we are able to execute a huge volume of data, and there are more ways to execute it."
"There is room for improvement in the Data Marketplace aspect."
"Informatica is very expensive."
"The ability of the product to leverage the power of big data could be improved."
"One area that could use improvement is the speed of the web interfaces. At present, they are very slow. I think it is essential that we are original and robust on-premises."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
"Their UI needs improvement. Their scorecards and reporting also need improvement. Their data quality reporting, especially their dashboards and scorecards, is lackluster at best. Its reporting capabilities are limited. If you want to do anything beyond its limited reporting capabilities, then you're going to have to use an external reporting tool such as Power BI or something like that."
