Pros
"IBM Master Data Management on Cloud has been valuable because it has helped in the consolidation of services and lots of the cost of administering and centralizing all the management and automation. Additionally, new features are frequently added."

More IBM Master Data Management on Cloud Pros →

"New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded.""I like that Informatica MDM has robust matching technology. Informatica MDM is also porting the external Java applications for validations. I can consider that a must-have. It is also exposed to Rest API calls, and we can engage in real-time integrations with any third-party systems.""Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value.""Informatica MDM has a defined data model we can customize with user and developer options.""The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are its reliability, match functions, and integration capabilities. The out-of-box functionality of deduplication and built-in data models ensure faster implementation.""It has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms. They're very robust.""This is where I think MDM shines - with its strong fuzzy matching algorithm. This is the essence of Informatica MDM. Based on these results, I can write our match conditions and then perform the corresponding data management activities.""MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."

Cons
"The solution is continually being improved by adding features. They should continue to improve the solution in the future."

More IBM Master Data Management on Cloud Cons →

"Informatica MDM has a complex user interface, which could be improved.""Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up.""I think they should work really hard on UI.""From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials.""They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic.""The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement.""Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough.""This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
  • "It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
  • "It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."
  • "Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
  • "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."
  • "It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
  • "Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
  • "Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
