Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, TIBCO, Reltio and others in Cloud Master Data Management (MDM) Solutions."Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."
"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"The valuable feature is that we can automate the integration part...It is a stable solution."
"The ability to aggregate and put together data from around fifty sources into one environment allows us to have a preview of everything in a single place, which is something we did not have previously in our company."
"It has improved our organization because it has made our data more reliable. Data is the most important asset these days, and in order to trust your data, you need these tools to make sure that your data is clean and reliable."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"Hybris is stable and has good architecture. It's easy to maintain."
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"The biggest pain point for us is the documentation. Typically, you have to go through knowledge forums and knowledge groups to find out about the syntax issues for interfacing with new products. Typically, you've got to deal with someone who has been through the pain before. Their documents are not really up to date with current innovations happening in the industry. As big as they are, you can't really expect it, but that's our pain point."
"The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The configurations could be better. It is a bit confusing because we must develop two tools when building a data model in Informatica MDM. Even though Informatica MDM is a single tool, we have our hub console plus the provisioning tool within that. Whatever data model we are building in the hub console, we have to develop it in the provisioning tool again. It is double the work to create a data model. We are also using external calls or the Java custom plans functions. This can be both positive and negative. Since MDM as a client does not support any complex validation, we have to depend on the external call or a Java call. Every time we deployed, the entire solution was impacted if something went wrong."
"The UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it."
"The configuration process is pretty lengthy and challenging and could be made easier to understand."
"They can change their backend because it's a little hard to work with. They could streamline it with new technology."

I was part of evaluating several vendors for MDM program at my company and after technically evaluating each of them, Informatica was the choice. It doesn't make sense to build one as the tools available in the market are sufficient to satisfy the needs of MDM program. please let me know if you need help with vendor evaluation, RFP, implementation strategy etc..
