Q&A Highlights
Question: Informatica MDM or Hybris PCM? Buy vs. Build?
Answer: I have participate in two customer integration projects for financial sector. First was connected with custom MDM, second was Informatica MDM implementation. If you plan build own MDM solution you have consider: - integration with current architecture (bulk loading via MDM, real-time integration via ESB) - use data quality tool for information matching (ex QualityStage or IDQ) - data steward interface Commercial MDM give you these elements implemented. If you choose Informatica MDM you have to prepare data model (it is not included) and generate services. Of course, if you would like to setup complex processes, you have to prepare java code that create transactions basing on CRUD services. In IBM implementation (MDM Enterprise) you have got data model and services which you can customize. Even if you choose commercial MDM implementation - it is good to have Java skills (JEE welcomed)

Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Informatica MDM's most valuable feature is the interconnection between multiple Master Data domains.""​The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them.""The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management.

Cons
"Data integration should be improved.""I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required.""The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep.""Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting.""The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects.""The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology.

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."

    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..
