We performed a comparison between Informatica Data Quality and SAS Data Management 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."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."
"I am impressed by the solution's interface."
"It is very useful for testing purposes and designing mappings for small projects. If you go for IDQ in the mapping itself, you can see the data. You can then correct it, and test it so easily. It is working fine. It is also stable, scalable, and easy to deploy."
"There are a couple of valuable features. One is that it is very quick on the profiling. So, you get a very fast snapshot of the type of data that you're looking at from the profiling perspective. It can highlight anomalies in the data."
"The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"The user interface is flexible and the visibility of the data flow is amazing."
"We are able to set rules, establish a data quality management platform, and monitor the quality."
"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"Although we are very satisfied with the design of the UI, executing tasks with it can be difficult."
"Considering internal data from legacy systems, it is quite difficult to know if Informatica Data Quality meets that high level of accuracy criteria."
"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."
"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."
"There's certainly room for improvement. One crucial area is generating detailed reports on file statuses. Presently, this is represented visually, often as graphs or charts. Such reporting could offer comprehensive insights into the areas that demand attention and further scrutiny."
"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."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
