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."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."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"I like the connectivity and richness of features for the technical team, the maturity of the product, and that it had a cloud version. There is Informatica Cloud, and it is part of the Informatica Cloud platform."
"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 do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset."
"Informatica Data Quality is a product that is worth the money."
"The solution is very fast."
"Ability to collect information, monitor user access and to plan storage capacity."
"Initial setup was straightforward."

"The scorecard will highlight the percentage of good data and ensure the user can feel confident that the data is accurate within predetermined limits."
"Setup is straightforward."
"The data profiling was excellent, as was the ease of generating the dashboards."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better visuals for business users, such as a dashboard where they can precisely track where problems are."
"The ability of the product to leverage the power of big data could be improved."
"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."

"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."
"SAP Information Steward could be improved by offering a cloud version of the product."
"The solution could improve by incorporating other applications, such as Power BI to show more visualization. More interaction with other solutions would be a good benefit."
"The user experience of metapedia could be improved."
"Needs to be more powerful on rules."
"The support team is not very responsive."
