We performed a comparison between Informatica MDM and Talend Open Studio for MDM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Master Data Management (MDM) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to create REST-based interfaces of the master data objects."
"I like that Informatica MDM has robust matching technology. Informatica MDM is also porting the external Java applications for validations. I can consider that a must-have. It is also exposed to Rest API calls, and we can engage in real-time integrations with any third-party systems."
"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."
"This is where I think MDM shines - with its strong fuzzy matching algorithm. This is the essence of Informatica MDM. Based on these results, I can write our match conditions and then perform the corresponding data management activities."
"Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great 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."
"We've used the solution for quite some time, so in our organization, the product is pretty mature."
"The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep."
"I really like the data fabric."
"The biggest advantage of Talend is that they have an active community. If we face any issue, we can get input in a short duration of time."
"New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends. The solution is good, but it definitely needs a lot of improvement and needs to speed up as per the market."
"The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep."
"The configuration process is pretty lengthy and challenging and could be made easier to understand."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"We promote our code changes from a lower to a higher environment, which is highly complex when working with a multi-domain MDM like Informatica. This is the biggest obstacle for Informatica MDM, and I think they should change it because that's very time consuming."
"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 on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough."
"It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly."
"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools."
"I do not have notes for improvement."
