Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, TIBCO, Reltio and others in Cloud Master Data Management (MDM) Solutions."MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"Informatica MDM has a defined data model we can customize with user and developer options."
"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"In the latest version, I like the outlay of the business roles creation. I like seeing that visualization as you're building it, as opposed to going through metatables or XML mappings. We liked that piece, and it makes it more intuitive for the business."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"The data quality component is very good."
"We can see all our information on a single screen."
"Their documentation is excellent."
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex."
"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 UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"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."
"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"Informatica MDM could improve the interdependency with integration. The solution sometimes becomes a bit difficult to change considering a lot of interdependency with the integration. There can be some improvement in the workflows and they can introduce more artificial intelligence."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools."
"They need to make the workflow more enhanced or dynamic in its functionality."
