Cons
"The updates could be better.""Overall, it's a very good product but they could do with some modifications log-wise.""It is quite expensive.

That was one thing that we prioritized when we started searching for this kind of solution.""Once the data is masked, we won't be able to reverse it back to its original value.""I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking.""Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions.
